Grace's Success at Water Polo
Posted by Sally on 19 July
As a club South Axholme Sharks would like to send our congratulations to club member Grace Kaye.
Read More
Grace began swimming with Sharks many years ago, competing on a regular basis, this led to her taking an interest in the sport of water polo. Soon after Grace joined City of Sheffield Water Polo club and has gone on to be very successful.
Grace's recent achievements include selection for the English schools team following ESSA trials along with her Sheffield team mate Maddie, this will see them compete in Hungary in October.
This year Grace also captained the 2003 National Age Group to become the best team in the country and take Gold, along with the lovely trophy in the photograph.
On top of all this we still see Grace training with Great Whites.
This success shows how swimming can take you in another direction.
Well done Grace !!!!!!

Sharks Place Fourth At The 13yrs and Under Friendly Gala
Posted by lisa on 03 May
Well done to all our swimmers who took part in the Team Friendly for the 13yrs and under age groups.
The usual team dedication was apparent from the off, something Sharks swimmers pride themselves on. The support from family and friends was also at the usual level (loud).
Each swimmer gave their all and put in some really good swims, many experiencing a team gala for the first time.
Thank you to the Senior members who attended the gala and supported swimmers at the lane ends.
