Our Juniors (aged 9 -12 years) made a proud debut performance in Division 1 of the 2017 M11 Arena Junior Inter League at Basildon for Round 1 of the 2017 Competition. Well done to all who took part; supporting parents and coaches Mandy and Lucy Gee are all proud of you!
Over the weekend, Team Luton sent a number of swimmers to both of the above meets.
All swimmers showed a willingness to listen, learn and improve their race strategies alongside holding massively improved technique and skills under pressure. Keep improving the process and the outcome will continue to move forward too!
We now look ahead to our own competitions in April & May along with the East Region Championships. Well done to all who competed!
Chantal Smith travelled as part of the East Region Team to compete at the highly renowned Edinburgh International meet held at the Royal Commonwealth pool from 10th-12th March.
Chantal came away with two BIG life time bests in the 400m and 800m Freestyle. As a result Chantal was the fastest East Region swimmer at the meet in both of those events. Her 800m time beat her own club record by over five seconds whilst the 400m was a PB by over three seconds.
A big thank you too all the Coaches/Staff for making it such an invaluable experience.
Congratulations Chantal – you did Team Luton proud!
