6th May 2009 Last weekend saw eleven of our swimmers competing, some of them for the very first time, at Prestonpans. They all turned up in full team kit which had been delivered earlier in the week and they looked fantastic. They were all quite nervous but we had gone through all the technical bits of swimming in a gala with them so when the meet started they all realised that they knew what was expected. They certainly did not let us down! They all swam fantastically setting PB after PB AND new Team Records. As this was a graded meet it saw James and Eve go 'too fast' and be presented with speeding tickets. If fact they didnt just break the speed limits they blasted the time out of sight and in Eve's case it was by 10 seconds!!! They all shouted support for each other and had a good laugh, in fact a couple of other coaches approached us to ask what was our secret to getting our kids to have such a fun time at a competition. Its no secret but it is a very special and rare thing to have and we treasure it jealously Medal haul was as follows: Olivia - Silver, Lauren - Gold, James - Bronze and a Speeding Ticket, Eve - Speeding Ticket, Sean - Silver, Liam - Gold, Jennifer - Silver Records broken were 25m Butterfly: Olivia Harris 50m Breaststroke: Liam Moyes, James Cruikshank, Eve Harris and Lauren Brownlee 50m Backstroke: Ryan Shaw, Eve Harris 50m Freestyle: James Cruikshank Colin and I were so proud of how you all swam and how you all enjoyed yourself throughout the day WELL DONE all of you!!!! and I hope to get my voice back very soon as I did just a little bit of shouting support on the day and am suffering for it now - would not have it any other way!!!! |
