September Sprints Meet
Roar-tastic news, Kingfishers! It’s me, Kingsley Bear, and I just couldn’t wait to share how incredibly proud I am of all you young swimmers at Armthorpe Kingfishers Swimming Club. You didn’t just dive in—you sprinted your way to the top at the September Sprints meet at John Charles Centre in Leeds! Watching you slice through the water with such speed, determination, and style had me cheering so loudly I almost shook my bear-sized pom-poms right off!
Every stroke, turn, and finish was testament to your hard work and dedication. You trained, you persevered, and you believed in yourselves—and it paid off in spades! Being crowned at the top is no small feat, and each of you has shown that with teamwork, focus, and a splash of Kingfishers’ spirit, anything is possible. I could see the sparkle in your eyes as you touched that wall first, and it filled my bear-heart with pride.
So here’s a huge bear-sized congratulations from me, Kingsley! Celebrate your victories, cherish the memories, and remember: this is just the start of many more amazing swims to come. Keep pushing, keep splashing, and keep being the incredible Kingfishers you are. The water may be wide, but with your courage and talent, there’s no limit to how far you can go!

BML Rotherham Gala
Wow, what a weekend! It’s me, Kingsley the Bear, and I’m still buzzing with excitement after the Rotherham BML Swimming Gala! I had the best seat in the house, cheering from poolside as our amazing Kingfisher swimmers gave it everything they had. The energy, the focus, the team spirit — it was unbearable-ly good! And guess what? We absolutely smashed our Project 89 target! I nearly did a belly flop out of excitement (don’t worry, I stayed dry… this time!).
I couldn’t stop dancing, hugging, and high-pawing everyone in sight — you all made me the proudest bear in Rotherham. Every stroke, every cheer, every splash counted, and it showed. Watching you swim with such heart and determination made my furry chest puff up with pride. You’ve not only hit your target, you’ve inspired your mascot and your whole club. Keep reaching for the stars, Kingfisher — because with spirit like this, there’s no limit to what you can do! 🐾💦💙

BML Home Gala
Oh wow, what a bunch of absolute legends we’ve got in this club!
Every single swimmer gave it their all out there—no grumbles, no growls, just hard work, team spirit, and that unstoppable “never give up” attitude that makes this bear beam with pride!
You better believe I’m one roaringly proud mascot! Can’t wait to see them back in action on the 5th of July. Bring it on!
GO KINGFISHERS! Let’s keep soaring… and roaring!

It’s your best bear buddy, Kingsley Bear!
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Kingsley, how do I swim like a dolphin and revise like a genius without turning into a soggy textbook?”
WELL. I’ve just waddled (okay, belly-flopped) my way through Swim England’s Top 10 Tips on Revision and Training – and let me tell you, they’re grrreat! 🐾✏️
You’ll learn how to:
✔️ Boss your schoolwork
✔️ Keep swimming like a legend
✔️ NOT fall asleep face-down in your spaghetti from exhaustion (been there…) 🍝😴
So if you want to stay sharp in your brain AND in your backstroke, check out those tips! 📚💪
Now go be brilliant, Kingfishers! And remember:
Eat your snacks. Do your squats. Don’t lick your revision notes.
(Trust me on that last one. Paper tastes weird.)
