Emma Hogarth (Hoagie) continued her strong season
by securing for herself the number one spot in the country for the 12 yr
old girls 50 free with a heat time of 30.99. Emma then went on to take
the Scottish Schools Gold 50 free title with a final time of 31.11. This
is a great result for her School (Danderhall) and Portobello ASC.
Rory McKay took silver in the 100 Fly with a 1:02.74 only narrowly
missing out on top spot by 0.39.
John Macdonald collected a bronze for his 2:27.15 200 IM.

Ciaran Mcgeever has been selected to represent
Scotland (South/East) at the Sainsbury’s UK School Games in London from
the 6th-9th of May.
The Games have stupidly been placed during the Scottish exam period, so
Ciaran will also be sitting one of his exams in London. We hope that
this will not spoil his enjoyment of what will be a great experience for
him. Ciaran will be competing in the London Olympic pool, perhaps he
can set a pool record before all the Olympians get there.
We wish C... Continue reading...

A fun day at Prestonpans, with
judges wearing santa hats and lots of medals being won. We only had
three swimmers in the morning but we had 17 competing in the afternoon -
and, we had 5 coaches there in the afternoon which must be a record.
Ella and Gigi set the tone in the morning session, with Ella
winning a full set of medals (Gold, Silver and Bronze) while Gigi won a
Silver and 3 Bronze.
In the afternoon it was generally the older
swimmers who won the most. JJ had an excellent sessio... Continue reading...

This was the 200m event weekend and we had a dozen swimmers who
qualified (although a couple missed the meet due to injuries).
We had
four different swimmers who made finals, which is an excellent
achievement, and two (Rory and Iona) who collected medals. Well done to
both of them, Rory had a fantastic last 50m in the fly moving up from
5th to 3rd in the final section of the race (and almost catching 2nd
place too). Rory also made the back final, JJ had a great swim in the
heats of the... Continue reading...

As current holders, we took a full team (big thanks to Alfie and Robin for standing in at the eleventh hour) to Haddington.
Its a strange event for spectators as there is no scoreboard and the
swimmers who finish first don't always win top points if they are too
fast (outside the timeband). We were lying 4th
(of 4 teams) after the first two events, third after the third event
and second after the penultimate event. However, we couldn't sustain
that improvement and slipped back to fini... Continue reading...

We had a good turn-out for this year's trophy events and a full
compliment of officials to cover all five lanes. The Open events
produced some excellent races, with the boys 100m breast and the girls
100m IM being the most exciting. Both of the 100m IM trophies were retained by last year's winners (Iona and John), as was the 100m fly for boys (Rory M). New winners were Nieve (100m back and fly) and JJ (100m breast, breaking a run of six years where the winners name began with S).
In the P...

We hosted this round of the Coverdale Novice trophy and the pool
was filled with shouting and cheering as an exciting night of races took
place. We had an undersized team as some swimmers weren't available
which meant that we dropped a lot of points due to empty lanes. However,
the swimmers who were there did really well and some picked up a lot of
points for the team, especially Olivia (32 points), Ella (23 points),
Rory C (21 points) and Ollie and Abbie M who both picked up 12 points... Continue reading...

a Gold and a Silver each and Scott and Nieve both won a Silver and a Bronze. JJ, Fi
