We have finally received the NASCH results (attached).

There appear to have been some errors in the results. The main one, as far as we are concerned, is the reversal of 1st and 2nd in the Boys 4 lengths. Cole should have had a gold medal and individual trophy for his swim. The extra point would have given us Equal Runner up spot in the Overall result. However, all swimmers should be proud of the results and all the personal bests.

Thank you to all the swimmers, drivers and supporters.

NASCH Gala 2015 Results

A big congratulations to all our swimmers representing Region 8, particularly the Junior Team who retained their Junior Team Winners Trophy. The senior team lost Aaron Peters to a sickness bug on the morning of the competition. Despite efforts to find a substitute (Stefan had left for football, Chris was busy, Paul Fletcher off the mobile radar)the Mens Relay had to withdraw and Mark Day pulled out all the stops, unselfishly competing in both heats and finals of the 2 and 4 lengths in a very short space of time. Despite the setback and gallantry the team were 3rd in the overall competition (out of 10 regions). We were 1 point away from the Runner Up Trophy and only 4 points away from winning. Full results will appear when we have them but medal and trophy successes were:

Juniors

Daniel Hodge                     Bronze medal

Natalie Dillon                     Bronze medal

Bethany Kelly                     Silver medal

Here are the gala results from the Sprint Galas. (Small Pool Gala was held on 25th September 2015 and the Main Pool Gala was held on 2nd October 2015). Congratulations to William Newton, this year’s winner of The Bedworth Lions Club Gala Trophy, for the most improved performance. Well done to all swimmers.

2015 results

Attached are extracted results from Tamworth.

A fantastic effort from all.

Apologies to Peter Markham. His entry times for freestyle and breaststroke were from a block start which is worth about a second – maybe more in Peter’s case as he is very athletic. He won gold in the West Midlands Schools Orienteering Championships before arriving at Tamworth for the gala.

Swimming is on as usual next week 19th December, but there will be no swim on December 26th. The first swim of 2015 will be on 2^nd January. There may be less staff and volunteers on these two dates and so be prepared for a casual swim. Also make sure that all under 8s and non-swimmers have an adult in the water with them.

Here are the results for the BDSC annual gala, in the main pool from 05/12/14. Well done everyone.
