Congratulations Shay!

After a challenging 2021 we wanted to round the year off with some good news stories.  We asked all of our Swimming Teachers to nominate those distinctive, very special swimmers who deserved a bit of recognition.

They were asked to identify swimmers on our lesson programmes (children and adults) who have displayed positive attitudes, unyielding determination or, have put in efforts over and above their peers.  They may have overcome personal adversity or achieved something unexpected or challenging. 

Shay O'grady - Thorncliffe Health and Leisure Centre's swimmer of the year 2021!

Shay has been learning to swim with us throughout the year.

Starting from 5-years-old, he has completed triathlons and other charity swims for Bluebell Wood.

Well done Shay!
