Amsterdam Upstream Valentine Meet |
|
|
 OTS fielded a team of 15 swimmers at the Upstream Valentine Swimming Tournament in Amsterdam over the weekend.
Thanks to Eric for organizing the team dinner on Friday night at Humphreys which was highly enjoyable. The swimming got underway at a very civilized hour on Saturday afternoon – to the relief of those who stayed out at the registration party until the wee hours of the morning.
The final medal count for OTS was 24 including an impressive 18 GOLD, 5 silver and 1 bronze. Many swimmers were encouraged with the personal best times that they achieved over the weekend.

Sad news |
|
It is with great sadness that we have heard that one of the members of our club, Nigel Jackson, died in a ski accident in Chamonix on Christmas day. He was skiing on the edge of a piste which gave way and he was caught in a small avalanche. His body was found on Boxing day. Our thoughts are with Nigel's family and his boyfriend, Fouad Mahboub.
Nigel was a long-standing member of the club and was part of the team Out To Swim sent to the 1994 Gay Games in New York. His funeral is planned to take place at 11am on Saturday 16 January at Golders Green Crematorium in London.
There are some articles in the press that you can find through Google, and there is some information and messages on this Facebook page. |
