Over the weekend of 13th / 14th May we ran our second Long Course open meet within this year’s National Qualifying window. It was another well organised competition, running smoothly from start to finish, enabling swimmers from clubs all over the UK to enjoy themselves and swim fast.

The meet itself provided some big improvements, especially from our younger swimmers competing. There was also a notable success in the form of a Senior County Record in the Women’s 400m Freestyle for Chantal Smith. Her winning time was 4:27.73. Congratulations Chantal!

Adam Taylor, our Head Coach, said, “It’s great to see the commitment and hard work from both swimmers and coaches alike paying off.  A massive thank you to all of the volunteers who have helped run our competitions so far this season – we have one left in July which I’m sure will be just as much of a success as all of the others. We couldn’t do it without you!”

Times and positions from both the April and May Long Course meets continue to be available at RESULTS.

We had a small but focussed group of swimmers competing over the 29th April – 1st May Bank Holiday weekend at our home pool, Inspire.

The team were successful with Chantal Smith gaining a Gold (800m FC) and 2 Silvers (200m / 400m FC),  Celyn Walmsley a Gold (200m I.M) and a Silver (400 I.M), not to mention the numerous finals and Personal Best Times made in a variety of events.

Congratulations to all the swimmers that competed. We continue to make big strides forward and everyone is proud of the progress you’re making!
