SWIMMING

Andrew Jameson is without question Crosby's most accomplished swimmer. Andrew attended Chesterfield High and was born and brought up in the area.

After a string of domestic and international successes Andrew won the bronze medal for the 100m butterfly at the Seoul Olympics of 1988. It is worth noting that his time of 53.30 would have been good enough to win the event four years later in Barcelona.

There is still speculation that Andrew would have won the final if Duncan Goodhew hadn't tipped him to not only win it but break the World record as well.

We can only assume Andrew will remain Crosby's best ever swimmer as with the closure of Crosby baths local youngsters now have the choice of swimming in the River Mersey or the Victoria Road duck pond until the new baths are completed.
