Unfortunately due to very low numbers of entrants and a lack of sufficient officials to assist with the running of the event, it is with regret that our proposed Pentathlon (9th April 2017 at Dunston Leisure Centre) as been cancelled.
The Committee appreciate that this decision will disappoint the swimmers who had planned to attend but unfortunately it became apparent that the event was simply not viable.
The Coaching team are considering alternative options for members to compete.
Details of our proposed two day gala to be held in July 2017 will be published shortly…

Fantastic performances by all of our swimmers at February’s championships!
Below are the details of the 27 swimmers (2016 -29) who won a medal, made a final or finished in the top 10 of a heat declared winner event.
As with 2016 we had 5 County champions in at least one event – Ryan Zhao, Ella Watson, Sarah Wright, Jessica Cottee and Naomi Parker. Ryan’s haul of 9 golds being the obvious highlight.
The most pleasing statistic though is the total of the medals, finals reached and top 10 finishes. Our swimmers achieved one of these results 134 times this year compared to 112 in 2016. A significant improvement.
This doesn’t capture the huge number of PBs set and great swims by all our swimmers, including those who didn’t quite make it to a final.
Well done everyone!

The Club are pleased to announce the launch of our new online submission method for gala entries.
This method includes e-commence which not only enables the electronic submission of gala entries, but also enables payment via debit or credit cards for the first time
The introduction of this new method offers lots of benefits to both Club members and the Club itself. Being able to submit entries and make payment electronically will also significantly reduce the amount of work involved by Club officials (Club Reps, Competition Secretary and Treasurer) in managing gala entries.
Over the next few months the online method for submitting gala entries will be gradually introduced – starting with the Derventio Meet in April. The reason for this gradually introduction is to ensure that we adapt all necessary processes effectively, adapting and refining as necessary.
If you have ever ordered a takeaway online you will recognise our online submission method as it works in a very similar way.
Galas using the online method will continue to be announced in the usual way via the Club’s website. In the announcement there will be a link to the online submission page, where all the available events will be displayed – below is an example of the screen.
The submitter would then simply enter the member’ name and ASA number and then start selecting the events to enter. To select an event, they would enter the personal best time achieved and select LC or SC to indicate whether the time was achieved in a long or short course event (NOTE if the swimmer has no previous PB, then simply add 0:00:00). Then they click the “Add to Events” button and the event will be added to the Events List shopping trolley.
Once all the events have been added, click the Events List shopping trolley to review the selections. If an error has been made you have the option to delete and return to the selection page to redo.
A 30p handling fee will be added to the total cost. This fee covers the card payment charges which will be incurred via the Club’s merchant bank account and the amount has been set to simply cover these charges. No additional revenue is expected to be generated for the Club via this handling fee.
Unfortunately the handling fee is non-refundable in the event of withdrawals or rejections as the Club will incur the card payment charges regardless if the transaction is processed.
Once the selections are correct, click the Checkout button to make the payment.
The checkout screens requests contact details of the submitter and then payment method. A final order confirmation screen displays the selected events before clicking the Take Payment button.
The secure payment screen (see below) will then appear (we are using Cardstream service to manage this part of the process). Complete the requested information (card and billing details) etc. then click the Securely Submit Payment button.
If successful a confirmation screen will be presented indicating the order ID number. The submitter will then received two emails. The first email will summarise the order – selected events, etc. – and the second email will provide a customer receipt (with order ID included in the reference information) from Cardstream.
Gateshead and Whickham ASC wish to formally thank Jason Douglas, his company CHIP AND PIN DIRECT and his associates for their support and assistance in making this online submission method possible.
If you have any questions relating to this matter, please contact Steven Reynolds (Steve.Reynolds@gawswim.org.uk).

It was great to see a club record 27 swimmers turn out to morning training at Elswick International Aquatic Centre. It must be the Coach K factor! #TeamGAW pic.twitter.com/pYDg3c8DKr
