Primary Schools Make a Splash!

Swimming pools across the island were alive and splashing with hundreds of pupils and lots of cheers for the annual Swimming Gala events. 175 children from fourteen primary schools in the Menai Bridge and Llangefni areas competed at Plas Arthur Leisure Centre in Llangefni (April 11th). With a mix of swimming strokes and age groups, the overall titles were a closely fought contest. First place overall went to Ysgol Llanfairpwll (all smiles in the photo—right). A week later, over 100 children from eight primary schools in the Amlwch area headed to Amlwch Leisure Centre, where Ysgol Goronwy Owen, Benllech (below) took the overall top spot after a morning of races.

A gala was held at Holyhead Swimming Pool earlier in the year and there will be an Anglesey Final held later this school year, where the fastest swimmers from each gala will be in-vited to determine the overall top swim school! Mike Dilworth, Anglesey Aquatics Development Officer, who organised the events said: "Judging by the levels of noise from cheering pupils, the events were a huge success and encouraged swimmers of all ages to represent their school."

A popular surf lifesaving club is looking for more vol-unteers as it gets set for its second Summer season. The club, which has been u s i n g P l a s A r t h u r Swimming Pool during the Winter months, will soon be heading outdoors to Broad B e a c h , R h o s n e i g r . Surf Lifesaving is popular in parts of Cornwall and South Wales, but the club was set up on Anglesey as there was nothing north of Aberystwyth similar. It has been funded and supported by Surf Lifesav-ing Wales and the Sports Council for Wales.

Simon Jones, Outdoor Activities Development Officer said: "The club has been really popular, especially with children, but what we need now is more volunteers to help with the running of the club (such as admin), as well as people interested in training for the instructor side of things, gaining a qualification as a beach lifeguard. You can get qualified and have some fun. "The atmosphere of the club is really relaxed and appealing. We learn everything from the life saving and surfing aspect to the fitness and other skills, like First Aid. It has a

great community feel." Ten people have already been trained up as part of the club and the hope is to get 20 this year. Anybody can attend the club, as long as they are confident in the water. The club currently meets on a Wednesday evening. If you are interested in volunteering or taking part, contact Simon on (01248) 752036 or Glen at Gecko, Rhosneigr on (01407) 811247 for further information or find them on Facebook.

Ride the Waves this Summer

Some of North Wales’s best young climbers were able to showcase their skills in the final of the North Wales Schools Bouldering Competition on Anglesey. The event featured teams of 12 to 16-year-old school children from four different counties, including Ysgol David Hughes (Anglesey), who had progressed to the final having won their inter-county heat. The Indefatigable Climbing Wall (known as the ‘Indy’), in Llanfairpwll, was the venue for the competition. Organised by the Outdoor Partnership in conjunction with the schools 5x60 programme and sponsored by DMM, Ysgol Friars of Bangor eventually emerged victorious. Keen climber Alice Jones, 15, of Ysgol David Hughes, has been climbing for four years and is also a member of the North Wales Climbing Academy. She said, “It’s good that people with different levels of abil-ity can come together for this competition, and I know a lot of people who are here today.” For further information contact the 5x60 team’s Owain Jones on (01248) 751882.

Mae clwb poblogaidd sy’n achub bywydau o’r môr yn chwilio am wirfoddolwyr wrth i’w ail dymor Haf nesáu. Bu’r clwb yn defnyddio Pwll Nofio Plas Arthur yn ystod misoedd y Gaeaf a bydd yn mentro allan gyda hyn i Dra-eth Llydan, Rhosneigr. Mae clybiau achub bywydau yn y môr yn boblogaidd mewn rhannau o Dde Cymru a Chernyw, ond sefydlwyd y clwb yn Ynys Môn gan nad oes dim tebyg iddo i’r gogledd o Aberystwyth. Mae wedi ei gyllido a’i gefnogi gan Surf Lifesav-ing Wales a Chyngor Chwaraeon Cymru.

Dywedodd Simon Jones, Swyddog Datblygu Gweith-gareddau Awyr Agored: “Mae’r clwb wedi bod yn hynod o boblogaidd, yn arbennig gyda phlant, ond rydym angen mwy o wirfod-dolwyr yn awr i gynorthwyo gyda rhedeg y clwb (fel gwaith gweinyddol), yn ogystal â pobl sydd â diddor-d e b m e w n b o d y n hyf forddwyr ac enni l l cymwysterau i fod yn achubwyr bywyd. Gallwch ennill cymwysterau a chael hwyl. “Mae’r awyrgylch yn y clwb yn hamddenol a braf iawn. Rydym yn dysgu pob dim - o’r agwedd syrffio ac achub bywyd i ffitrwydd a sgiliau

eraill, fel Cymorth Cyntaf. Mae yna ysbryd cymunedol gwych.” Mae deg o bobl eisoes wedi eu hyfforddi i fod yn rhan o’r clwb a gobeithir cael 20 eleni. Gall unrhyw un ddod i’r clwb, ar yr amod eu bod yn hyderus yn y dŵr. Mae’r clwb yn cyfarfod bob nos Fercher. Os oes gennych ddiddor-deb mewn gwirfoddoli neu gymryd rhan, cysylltwch â Glen yn Gecko, Rhosneigr ar (01407) 811247 i gael rhagor o wybodaeth.
