First round of the Novice league in the new season, as usual started at Haddington. And as usual, we had some swimmers in their first ever gala so well done to Finlay, Aleyna and Mert who all competed really well

There were also some great PBs in various events, from Aoife-Rosa, Daniel, Harry, Neve, Eilidh, Robyn D, Rosie, Caitlin and Georgie. .

The evening was more evenly balance than the past few years and though we finished in 3rd place, we were only a couple of points behind 2nd and Tranent only have a 20 point lead.

 

Morpeth Annual Gala - Sun Sep 10 @ Morpeth

October 15, 2017

Our bi-annual trip to Morpeth was a great day out only slightly spoilt by the result! We had a good turn-out of swimmers, other than the 9/10 boys where we only had two swimmers when we needed four.

Our 11/12 girls were our strongest team and the 15+ boys team produced the most exciting relays (winning one and losing one, each by less than ¼ sec).

In the end we lost by around 80 points so we’ll need to work hard for next year’s return match.

Great start to the season! The swimmers never fail to impress. 200 back seemed to be the event of the competition! PB's all round. Grace and Molly - nice amounts knocked off. Niamh - big chunk off (and within a whisker of Scottish Short Course qualifying time). Then Rory C taking 9secs off to go 2.28 with a negative split of 1.14.6 and 1.14.3! That's how to swim a 200 back!
