Notts A.S.A Centenary Fun Gala


On Sunday 15th July, we had a few (mad and insane) children took part in the Notts ASA fun gala at Beechdale Baths.  Myself and Shirley were very baffled by the 'rules' and the 'swimming techniques' they were requesting!  After a bit of research on google and you tube we were still lost so decided to ask the 'staff'.......only to be told they didnt know either and the rules are made to be broken!!

We had all kinds of fun as you can imagine!!  It started of with an 'Obstacle Race' which all the kids had a part of in some way!!  Pleased to say we won in true KSC form!!  Then entering into a 'Plunging' contest!!!  After watching so many children do it, little Sam Knowles from teaching pool decided he wanted to have a go......when I asked if he could dive....he replied with 'yes I'm the best diver!!!'  so who was I to argue with that!!  The colour drained from his dads face when he saw him going up and his mum was cheering him on!!  He did in my opinion the best 'plunge' the gala!!  What a star!!

Several races took place all through out the day!  Including a 'barking mad' race which all the swimmers had to doggy paddle down the pool whilst barking like a dog!!  

We finished with a cannon which consisted of a 8 swimmer relay....by this time we only had 7 swimmers....so Tyler took on a double identity and swam twice!!  Another fine win for KSC!!  

Overall it was a very mad and fun day!!  The kids who took part ( Aiden & Callum Williamson, Courtney Butters, Eleanor Aboutarab, Emily Bettridge, Jimi & Sam Knowles, Katie Horner and Tyler Meads) were all a credit to the club and their parents.
