Report by Andy Baxter:
Out of over 140 girl swimmers, Elle Pryce finished overall 3rd and Aimee Baxter overall 2nd, with both winning 4 of their 5 events. Will Barker and Josh Langfield both picked up 3rd place awards. Apart from Aimee, the rest of the Long Eaton swimmers were from Development squads 2 and 3 and were led by Greg Cherry, Bob Cherry and Malcolm Stray. There was a mass of personal bests and heat winners from all the Long Eaton swimmers and it was a pleasure to watch their continued improvement.
There was an international basketball tournament on at the same venue and the Development
squad swimmers were absolutely delighted to get the autographs of the 7 foot tall players from the English national squad – on their arms!
Well Done to everyone who took part and thanks to Andy for the above report - DS

Blog 427: Swine Flu
We have been advised that a pupil at Trent College has been diagnosed with Swine Flu, and has been sent home.
Trent College has been advised that it is in order to stay open and to keep their facilities in use.
We are following this advice and keeping our sessions at Trent College open too.
However, the decision to attend or withdraw is obviously down to each individual once the situation has been explained.
John Hidle
Hon. Secretary, LESC.
to answer the question being asked - we have been told that both "infected" students are 6th formers who have been away from Trent for some time revising for their A levels and it is "most unlikely" that they have used the pool.Apparently they attended a party a week ago where it is suspected that they picked up the bug.

Leander 181
City of Derby 148

This was a great result and a real team effort in a closely fought and very high standard gala. Many Thanks to all the parents who came to support and who sang the club chant after each of the club's race wins. Our swimmers are looking stronger every round and by being nominated best supported team at the gala, people are noticing the Orange of Long Eaton for all the right reasons!
Meanwhile, the B Team won their final gala in a 2 horse race against Matlock at Clay Cross.
Further details and results of both galas will follow soon. Well done to everyone who took part (either as a swimmer, poolside helper or supporter) in both galas.
