Craig Tinkler (17) another Blackpool member recently competed in the Lancashire Championships competition, where he was the most successful swimmer of his age. Many other Blackpool S.C. swimmers compete and do well in Local & Regional competitions either as individuals or as part of a team.
Last year Daniel Douglas traveled to Vancouver, Canada during the summer holidays in August 2006. He entered a competition that was over a 10 day period. This competition had Daniel swimming against other swimmers from other countries from around the world. Daniel won 4 Gold, 1 Silver, and 3 Bronze Medals. Mark Spitz presented Daniel with his 100m Butterfly Gold Medal, with a few words of wisdom. Mark Spitz is, the American swimmer who at age 22, in 1972 made history by winning 7 gold medals and breaking 7 world records in the one 1972 Olympics. Not bad eh! Daniel also came away with a signed autograph (we'll be seeing that on eBay any day soon, lol). Well Done Daniel, hopefully he'll be back from injury and competing again soon.
