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 session, winning 4 Golds
and a Silver (and it was Scott who won the only race that JJ didn't
win). Michelle also had an excellent time, collecting 4 Golds from 4
swims. Benji and Scott also won four medals from 4 swims, Benji winning 2
Golds and 2 Silvers while Scott won a Gold, 2 Silvers and a Bronze.
Morgan was our top 11 yr old, winning a Gold and 3 Silvers. Fi and
Laura both won 2 Silvers and 2 Bronzes each and Grace won a Silver and a
Bronze. Kitty and Ben both collected a pair of Bronzes and Ellie and
Louise collected one medal (a Gold for each of them). Finally, in an
exciting relay race at the end of the day our A team (Morgan, Kitty, JJ
and Scott) won the Gold.
