Blog 2150: Gala catch up

Amazing success for Long Eaton swimming club over the past 2 weekends. At the Chesterfield gala the club set a record of 109 personal best times in one weekend with Joshua Bestwick getting 10 PB's out of 10 swims. At Midland Championships Long Eaton were represent well once again with swimmers in 3 finals from the home programme and several more from Derventio Excell. Adam Freundlich's gold in the 50 Breast ment we finished above City of Coventry in the medal table for the 5th Midland Championship in a row which is an amazing achievement for a "small town club". At Derbyshire Championships Long Eaton swimmers recorded several gold medals and lots more personal bests with Kye Hazelton bravely completing the 200 fly by himself. Throughout all 3 of these galas Long Eaton swimmers stood out in their professionalism and behavior at all times. The swimmers were a credit to the club. On a side note it was nice to see the parents sitting together supporting each others children at Chesterfield and I firmly believe this show of unity spurs the swimmers on. The next step is to get the parents wearing Orange and Proud T shirts :)
