The galas on the 20th July

On the 20th July the club competed in two galas, the JC Dobb Final Round of the the spring competition  at Hucknall and also the Broxtowe Trophy Gala at Bramcote.

In the JC Dobb We came 3rd on the night,but could have won it. The cut off times resulted in 7 races where the swimmers went too fast,
resulting in a points deduction for the team.

Whoosh!! Well done to all the swimmers.

Overall the club came second in the spring competition league

Thanks to Caroline, Lisa and Claire for standing in for Hucknall at the last moment,  also to Sharon for judging and to Alison and Maria for timekeeping.
