Congratulations to the swimmers who represented the club in the Leicester league competition this winter. We contested all three rounds exceptionally well, coming second in both rounds one and two, and then following up with a sixth placed finish in the division final, narrowly missing the promotion places. We use the leicester league competition as a base to further develop the all round competitiveness of the club by mixing experienced swimmers with lesser experienced swimmers and in many cases exposing the younger swimmers to their first league competition. It was pleasing to see how well this mix worked, and the skills and abilities on display. Round Three was much more difficult than the previous two rounds, and it was clear that some of the bigger teams had bought in some heavy hitters missing in the previous rounds, so to see how well you competed shows promise and confidence in the abilities across all of the age groups.
Thankyou to the parents for getting the kids to the galas, particularly during round two where some of you zigzagged between matlock and burton! Many thanks to the officials and team managers for the organisation of the swimmers and timings!
