Well done to all swimmers!

Well done team! A brilliant set of results (again). Good swims from Joshua Watson and Matthew Buckler in their first galas. A full house of pbs from Sonia, Ashley and Thomas and all gold from Sonia, Emma, Thomas and Bethany. EVERY swimmer won a medal or swam a pb. The raft teams broke into the top 3 for the first time, but this year there no medals for this. The relays were very exciting with 10teams looking for honours. The 4 x 50m team were 0.7 secs away from bronze medals.

We look forward to competing against Tamworth Unicorns, Leicester Kingfishers, Leicester Saffron, Special Oympics North Warwickshire, Enterprise Club and CORN (??) next year.

Well done again to everyone!

The team finished 2nd overall, behind Cheslyn Hay Otters, beating the other 7 very strong clubs.

Special thanks to Simon Godfrey for all his help.

Well done to everyone!

Congratulations to every one of our team of 12 twelve swimmers. As well as being our best result ever in collecting 32 medals (16 gold, 7 silver and 9 bronze) there were 18 personal best times. It was really excellent to be competitive in the relays for the first time – even the raft race! Thank you everyone who supported the team and Gurvinder’s family for helping with transport. There are certificates from the organisers for all competitors and photographs will be uploaded to the website in due course.
