Recent Successes
The swimmers in our club achieve great results at many different levels - be that Local, County, Regional, National or International. There are also a number of Club Honours which have been a real team effort, so these are just as important. Please note that due to the lack of records, we have only been able to go back to the year 2000 with complete information.

National Championship Qualifiers
We have recorded the successful qualifiers for the years 2011 - 2017 in the Honours section of this website.
If you read through the lists above you will notice that a lot of these swimmers do not train at Armthorpe. Why is that?? Well, to achieve NER and National times you really need to be doing more than 3 sessions a week! Training at DARTES is the way to go if you have ambitions of achieving these standards. But, that said, simply showing up at training will not get you these rewards. It can take years of training hard week in, week out to improve! Swimming is a tough sport!! Well done again to all those listed above. Keep up the good work!!
If you do not appear on the list, but think you have achieved any one of the above, or know someone else who has, then please e-mail Dave
It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to qualify for the Nationals so a big well done. Congratulations for making the squad and good luck to all of you in the Championships.
