Well done to every single swimmer that has represented Long Eaton Swimming Club over the past few months in the Diddy league competition, all the coaches and parents are very proud of you. You have shown incredible ability, and commitment, and have competed extremely well against much larger clubs. The A team competed in the Final and finished in 3rd, narrowly being beaten by Nottingham Leander who came 2nd. This is a great achievement and shows how much we have improved as we only finished 7th last year, not even making the final! There were some winners on the night, Josh Langfield in the boys 11 years 50 fly, Matt Cartwright in the boys 11 years 50 back and 50 free, and Francesca Harris in the girls 11 years 50 free. Overall it was a very enjoyable afternoon and we were arguably the most colourful club on the poolside! A massive thank you to all the parents for giving up their time to bring the swimmers to training and compete for the club, without your dedication, we would not be able to compete at the level we are at!Thank you to all the volunteers involved in running the club behind the scenes. And finally to finish, a big thank you to George Barker and Rosy Smith for collecting the league pendants and medals, this is sadly their last year in the diddys, and they definitely gave the crowd a very warm thank you and goodbye and showed what a great spirit we have flowing through the team!If these results are anything to go by, the future of Long Eaton Swimming Club is definitely looking bright!
Keep on working hard!
Alex, Bob, Kaye, and Ian!
