The Wiltshaw Award is given to somebody who has shown vast progress over the past 12 months. Since starting as an assistant instructor, George has grown in confidence and is now delivering high quality sessions to our next generation of learners. Not only this, he is also constantly adapting and improving his practice to ensure his teaching supports inclusivity and allows a disabled member to still fully participate in all we have to offer. Well done George, and a huge thank you from everyone at the club for all that you do!

The Margaret Elson trophy is awarded once a year to somebody who goes above and beyond in support of the club. Every week Anya brings a warmth and excitement to the poolside which radiates through her teaching. Liam has gone over to her group several times to see what they have been up to, and has always become immediately drawn into whatever she is teaching. No matter what has gone on, she always has a smile on her face, is eager to help everybody and is an exemplar role model to all on poolside, children and teachers alike. We are very lucky to have Anya as one of our teachers, and this award is thoroughly deserved! Well done Anya, and thank you so much for everything you do!
