• Hearts Novice - Sun May 29 @ Leith Academy
    A very good day at Leith Academy and a very productive afternoon in particular. Gigi had an excellent day, winning two golds and a silver from only three events. Jenna won a gold (winning the breast just ahead of Gigi, so we got both gold and silver), Thomas won two silvers in his only two events, with Sophie and Caitlyn both winning a bronze. The relay team (Ella, Erin C, Gigi, Robin, Sophie and Thomas) also won a bronze. We also saw some excellent PBs from Ella (breast), Thomas (free), Robin (breast) and Sophie (fly). It was Zoe's first ever gala, so all of her swims were PBs (and she clearly enjoyed her day).

  • East District Open Champs - May 14/15 @ Tollcross
    A relatively rare chance for some of our swimmers to compete in a long course meet, this year's ED Open was at Tollcross (which, of course, is not actually in the East). Our top performer over the weekend was Ciaran, who won our one medal (in the 100m fly) and also secured a 4th place and two 5th places. Both John and Iona just missed a medal, finishing 4th in the 200m back and 50m breast respectively. Ciaran recorded PBs in all but one of his events, Iona had two PBs, Anna C, Nieve and Scott managed one each as did Ellie with an excellent 3 sec improvement in her 50m fly.

  • Haddington Total Swimmer - Sun May 8 @ Pretonpans
    We only had seven swimmers at this year's Total Swimmer meet but still managed to have two finalists in this high standard event. Both Emma H and Iona qualified for the 200m IM final in their respective age groups with Emma collecting a bronze medal. The quality of our girls swimming (Erin, Nieve, Jade, Morgan and Eilidh along with our two finalists) was such that all events saw the majority of them recording a PB - in the 100m IM there were 6 PBs, 50m back had 6, so did 50m fly, 50m breast had 5 and the 50m free produced 4 PBs.

  • Livingston Dev Meet - Sat May 7 @ Prestonpans
    We had a sizeable group of swimmers at the LDD gala, two of whom did very well in reaching some finals. Laura made four finals, taking a gold and three silvers and Rosanna made two finals (back and fly). There were numerous PBs across the day, some into double figures in terms of number of secs improvement. The biggest PBs were Grace (back), Sarah (fly), Anna S and Stuart (back), Grace and Stuart (free), Kitty and Jenna (back), Louise (free), Stuart (breast) and Sarah (free). Many thanks to David for looking after all the swimmers for the day.
