Well done to all of the swimmers who competed in the Diddy League Competition at the weekend. Both rounds were incredibly tough draws. The 'A' team put in a briliant performance to win their gala at bramote, winning 23 out of the 47 races and 10 of the 14 relays. The 'B' Team arguably had the harder of the two draws, facing very strong Mansfield, Derby, and Etwall teams! However, the times and performances show progression, which is what we are aiming to achieve. Remember, you have no control of how other swimmers perform, all you can do is swim to the best of your ability! Over the weekend there was 11 disqualifications across both teams, and alot of this was down to inexperience. For a number of swimmers this was their first gala, and these figures will decrease over time. We still have a long way to go yet to get things right, and your skills need to be worked on to the best of your ability whenever you are in the water. The diddy league competition is much stronger and competitive than last year, so be prepared to fight for every point in the race! Keep working hard and success will come!
See you all saturday
