County Champs Relays 21/03/2010

The final day of the county champs saw the club field 12 relay teams, with all the swimmers who took part in the championships plus a couple of others taking part.

Unfortunately we had two disqualifications in the opening event the girls 10/u Medley with both A and B teams making mistakes.

The next relay the boys 10/u freestyle saw the boys win their heat and qualify for the final where they finished 5th place overall.

The girls 12yr medley team finished 12th overall followed by the boys 12yr freestyle with the lads missing out on a final place by just 0.37 seconds, then the girls 14/u team came 8th despite having two eleven year olds swimming... a great effort.

The afternoon session saw two more teams make finals, the boys 10/u medley and the boys 12/u medley with a fourth place and fifth place respectively. Well done boys.

Both girls 10/u teams atoned for their earlier mistakes with the B team finishing in 15th place and the A team in 9th.

The girls 12yr freestyle team finished 7th overall and once again the 14/u Medley team finshed 8th.

Well done to all the swimmers, not just for today but for the whole championships.
