Month: November 2018

As you all probably know it takes an enormous amount of effort and time to sort out entries for galas. In this regard can I please remind everyone that you must let Susan know without delay whether or not your son/s or daughter/s are or are not available for any galas. Susan always sends e mail messages re dates of competitions well in advance however you will appreciate that if there is any delay coming back to Susan then we cannot guarantee acceptance for competitions.

It is worth pointing this out as all swimmers have to try and bring their times down in competitions where entry is gained on times posted. In this increasingly competitive sport it is becoming more and more imperative that their times are constantly improving thus making the criteria for up and coming galas.

You can never fault our swimmers for lack of effort and whilst not all set personal bests those that didn’t were not far off the mark.
Congratulations to Maggie winning gold in the 50 breaststroke, Jasper on making the 100 Free and 100 Breaststroke finals. Sammy  also made the 50 Fly final.

There were some outstanding swims however we must remember to stay still on the blocks as both Rachel and Jasper moved before the last beep and unfortunately were disqualified.

Jasper in particular was gutted as he went 1 25 in the heats of the 100 free and although disqualified for starting before the signal went an incredible 1.19 astonishing time in the final.

Alice, Aimee, Sammy, Thomas and Kara all had personal bests and it was pleasing that Elliot and Thomas are now back to best form.

As for the Pom Pom girls is there any end to their repartee?!?!?!.

Another very good gala performance wise and the hard work is definitely paying off.
