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!

May is a busy month for swimmers of all ages. Our top Team Luton swimmers have two more meets coming up this month – our own Long Course Level 1 Meet (13th – 14th May) and then the East Region Age Group champs 27th – 29th May in Norwich  Our youngsters (9- 12 years) meanwhile have Round 2 of the M11 League whilst some of our Masters are travelling to Norwich, Nuneaton or Bexleyheath to compete in Open Meets.

As our Head Coach, Adam Taylor, says, “Quality process brings quality outcome! Keep up the great work”.

Chantal Shines At Edinburgh International!

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!
