Blog 3237: Nuneaton and Bedworth Open Meet

Long Eaton were split between two open meets at the weekend, one being the end of cycle meet at Nuneaton and Bedworth. Around a dozen swimmers attended this meet which saw lifetime bests being achieved in most of the events entered. What was even more pleasing was that several swimmers made finals, and stepped up from their qualifying heat swims despite a heavy schedule. 

This is a necessary part of competition. Any high level competition, will require a qualifying swim and then a final swim. The competitors who step up will naturally gain the rewards, those who dont will not. So learn to build that mentality and resilience over time, and the best way to do it is by entering open meets! This was the end of cycle meet and it would of been nice to of seen a few more faces. We are now onto the last cycle of the season, where we have several midland qualifiers and more open meets to come, so lets enter these meets and finish the season off well.
