What a nice start to the diddy galas………
Well done to everyone who took part and as you will see
a bit later in my report a MASSIVE 20 PB’S were awarded
at least this makes up for the dq’s, which in both Suzie and my
opinions were a bit harsh!
An excellent effort from all our new gala swimmers and with more
practice,110% EFFORT and DETERMINATION you will soon
be smashing your new pb’s.
I have to say we had some brilliant individual swims Eleanor in both
fr and bk (1st), Jake Spicer fly (1st)Charlie Stevenson fantastic fly swim
and a good br swim even though this was a dq you still would of had a pb
and I don’t think we’ll have another dq next time round WILL WE CHARLIE!
Natalie King 25 bk just look at your new pb you smashed your old time. I think
you could even better this next time round.
To all the other swimmers who had new pb’s well done and you all deserved
them.

Finally I have to say congratulations on the cannon. What
a team effort. What do we keep saying about the last 5 yards
well we won by a hands touch. Well done Chris Clifton who finished
the race off for us.
All of you swimmers will soon be or will have received your annual
gala forms. Please enter all the events because you can do it and remember
it is a good way of getting new pb’s and showing us what you can do.
Thanks parents for supporting the club on Saturday and the parents who
helped poolside. Without you we couldn’t do it.
Well done again

*******************************************************************************************************
I would just like to echo what Rachel has already said. The gala showed fantastic improvements from a lot of swimmers. There was good team spirit, which was shown by how you all pulled together to work as a team in the relays, especially that cannon at the end!!
It was a good result, and obviously comes from hard work you must have been putting in in training! There were a few DQ’s, which is why you have to make sure you’re practicing everything exactly right in training so you do the same in a race, but we have a few weeks to get that all perfect for the next round!
Well done again and keep enjoying yourselves!!
