Blog 1131: Diddy Time Trials!

Last sunday saw what was the first Long Eaton Swimming Club time trial in a very long time, and it was great to see such a good turnout! A BIG thankyou to all the parents for bringing your children along, and a big thankyou to all the volunteers for helping the night run smoothly. These time trials are hopefully, the first of many we hope to hold over the coming year, with provisional dates in April, July, and October. The Learn to Swim and Development squads are incredibly important to the future of the club, and what we are doing with the time trials is gently introducing swimmers to the world of competitive swimming, and building their confidence to move onto better things. Competitive swimming, regardless of what level you are at, is a very exciting to do, it gives a purpose to all those lengths you cover when you train, and although we had a great turnout, there are still many more swimmers that were not swimming on the night, that I would really like to see at the next time trials! The results will be on the board at West Park. Write these times down, keep them safe, you can use them as a reference if you want to enter galas, or compare the times at the next trials!
