Tony Amos Cup:

Since 2002 Tony Amos was very much associated with the non-swimming end of the pool, this award has been based around the younger swimmers where they are either ‘swimmer of the year’ or ‘most promising young swimmer’.  This swimmer only joined us 2 years ago, but in that short time has made fantastic progress.  With their desire to improve and always ask at the end of the training what they could work on to improve for next time.  One of his greatest strengths is his aerobic capacity.  He qualified for his first counties this year.
