Blog 2340: Taunton Wrap Up

Wow, what a weekend it was for Long Eaton SC at Taunton. Our first away meet could not have gone any better. Fast swimming, smoothly run, impeccable behavior, no lateness and medals galore.

Once I get the full results from Taunton Deane I will do a full list of all the medals that were won as there are too many to mention. Yet again a 68% PB ratio for the meet with every swimmer competing in finals and breaking their own PBs set in the heats on all but 4 final races. Mimi Quinton and Bradley Evans won the 13 and under girls' and boys' skins event with Theo second on the boys' event and Naomi third on the girls' event. Mimi was second top girl and Bradley won top boy.

The 6 swimmers that went were a joy to work with and represented the club at an incredibly high standard. So much so that other coaches were googling us to find out where we had come from, with 3 separate coaches complimenting the standard of our swimmers.

This was one of the most enjoyable weekends of coaching I have ever had and I thank Duane and Nichola for their support as team managers and chaperones, and I thank the swimmers for being a joy to work with and so professional in everything they did. I do hope you enjoyed watching the finals on Periscope and following the success on twitter.
