Well done to all the swimmers who swam at the Leicester League gala at Loughborough on Saturday. As Spencer said, this is a very important year for the club, as we strive to build on the success we enjoyed last year. The performance at this gala was very encouraging, I was very impressed with the competitive spirit shown which lead to us winning the gala by a convincing margin. Winning sixteen individual races and twelve of the seventeen relays illustrates the talent we have at the club. Equally important was the way that all swimmers battled to secure points for the team, both in the relays and individual races.
Thanks to all the officials who helped at the gala, and to the team managers who did a great job on a very crowded poolside. Their job was not made any easier by the fact that some swimmers wandered off to either be with parents or talk to other people. Please make certain that team managers are aware of where you are at all times. Swimmers should stay with the team until the last race has finished.
We now need to continue to work hard in training in readiness for the up and coming galas that fall over the next few weeks.
