Congratulations and Thank You to all our swimmers who represented the club in the Wiltshire County Championships.
Some new-comers and some old hands in a strange environment with no spectators to cheer them on. Some very determined efforts with lots of personal best swims – remember you are racing against the clock!
Great to see all those who took part getting on so well and supporting each other.
Our younger swimmers have been picking up medals at the Wiltshire County Championships.
A weekend in Salisbury on 11th,12th January was followed by a day at the Link Centre on Saturday 18th January.
Eleven swimmers were entered into 78 events – yes that’s right 78 events!
Some really great swims, and the kids were an absolute pleasure to be with on poolside. The best moment for me as a coach was escorting six different swimmers out to swim in finals during one of the sessions. I’ve never had to do that before! And I’m sure that as a club we’ve never had swimmers qualified to swim in 17 finals before!
Congratulations to everyone who qualified. Thank you to everyone who took part and represented the club to such a high standard. A massive well done to our medalists Freya Howie and Oscar Symons.

What a way to spend a Sunday! 32 swimmers 100 swims!
Date: Sunday 9th June
Venue: Health Hydro, Swindon
Kicking it all off was the junior relay team of:
BK: Alex Scutt, Max Sullivan, BR: Alyssa Halliday, Aaron Bailey, BF: Thea Rhodes, James Nicholson, FC: Luize Rutka, Harry Carpenter
The team were left to their own devices regarding takeovers and performed admirably to take silver with a time of 3:02.13.
Nice to see some new faces poolside with debut swims for Amelie Pocock and Zak Sly. Some great racing between swimmers from 10 of the Wiltshire clubs.
Lots of medals and yet again lots of 4th and 5th places! (see table below)
