Minor Gala League 3/10/2009

Half term holidays, Halloween parties and illness prevented the club from fielding its strongest team for tonights final round of the Minor Gala League at Bramcote. Late changes to the team whilst at the venue also had to be made.
Despite all these setbacks we came second on the night by ONE point which was brill!

All the swimmers did really well especially all those that had to swim out of their age groups. WELL DONE TO ALL.

Special mentions tonight go to Luke Snowdon and Isabelle Jervis for doing their first gala, Jessie Henderson for two fab breaststroke relay legs in relays , one of them a 10yr relay! , Mollie Wright 3 p.bs and a special thanks to Alice Colquhoun for swimming. A shame we couldn't win the trophy on her last appearence as junior club captain.

And at the end of the gala in a 50m race off 3 swimmers, Elliott Clements, Sam Jervis and Lauren Gil achieved promotion to the Pink T-Shirt Club!! (awarded to swimmers achieving 50m in under 30 seconds)

Mollie Wright achieved a Midland qualifying time and Lauren Gill a National time in the 200m Back Event. Well done to both girls.

Many thanks to all those helpers / timekeepers and officials who made both weekends a big success.

Minor Gala League - Bingham - 17/10/2009

Illness and other commitments meant the club fielded a team that was not at full strength for the second round of the Minor Gala League at Bingham tonight.

5 dqs further hampered the teams score, eventually finishing in a disappointing but not suprising 5th place.

Special mention tonight to Mollie Wright - 3 first places, Georgia Tomlinson, Alice Colquhoun, Josh Housley, Ellie Poxon, Tyler Meads and Jess Hawksworth for their p.bs, Jack Brown for his first place and Jamie Barnard who did his first gala for the club tonight after being phoned up at 11 o'clock this morning to see if he wanted to do a gala and then posted a couple of good relay splits.

Well done to those who did swim for their efforts.

Club Champs Results Updated 15/10/2009

The new qualifying times for next years County Champs have been released by the Notts A.S.A

Unfortunately these arrived after our first Club Champs weekend.
We have updated the club champ results to reflect the differences in these qualifying times and to show those who have achieved the new times. Sadly this means that some who thought they had achieved a qualifying time no longer have one.
We are holding another Time Trial session at Heanor in November to give these kids another opportunity to achieve the new times.

Click the link below for the new county qualifying times.
