A minibus with 7 swimmers, 2 officials and a coach set off on the
Friday afternoon on our first ever trip to Inverness. An excellent
weekend followed, with 5 sessions in two days and plenty of great swims.
The big story of the weekend was Golden Girl Gallacher - Ellie
had a superb meet and picked up three Golds medals, an exceptional
performance at a high calibre event. Iona picked up two fifth places
(100m + 200m breast), securing a bronze squad time in the process. Nieve
also made a bronze squad time with an eight sec PB in the 200m back and
Emma improved two of her bronze squad times by 6 secs and 4.5 secs.
The boys were also swimming really well with John taking 6.5
secs off his 200m breast, Rory improved his 200m back and fly times by
over 2 secs each and Ciaran set new Pbs in the 400m IM, 100m free and
100m fly.
Well done.

golds and a silver and picked up the best boy trophy in the 13/14 age
group. Rosanna also had a great day on Sat, recording three bronze squad

A very good day at Leth 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

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, Nie...
