Blog 1561: Counties

Just the relays to go this Saturday (final teams will be posted once I've updated the PB database and taken into account those that cannot make it from the original list) and some great news. We have already surpassed our Gold medal total for last year and equalled our total medal count for last year; 62 golds this year 57 last year. The fact that it is taking me a while to update the pb database is a credit to all the swimmers that have smashed their PB's this counties. Remember improvement in times win medals not hopes and dreams. Several coaches have commented to me on how good our skills were looking but there is always room for improvement, so sharpen up those turns, drive harder of the blocks and straighten the legs on those dives, use the underwater skills and focus on improving your technique, These areas will give you long terms success and not just a victory this year. A big thank you once again to the team of volunteers that help make these galas a success, officals, back room staff, health and saftey, team managers and everyone else that has helped out.
