District Swimming Gala 2009

Hi All,

On Saturday 14th November our Scouts took part in the District Swimming Gala held at Wyndley Pool.

We provided a full team of 7 swimmers which meant that we were able to take part in all of the races.

The format of the evening was as follows;

Scouts - Under 12's Freestyle, Back Stroke & Breast Stroke
Scouts - Under 14's Freestyle, Back Stroke & Breast Stroke
Scouts - Relay
Scouts - Diving

Reece & Matthew both came first in their individual races and Jacob B came 3rd in his. Excellent!

At the end of all of the races we managed to qualify for 3 finals; the under 14's Freestyle, the under 12's Breast Stroke and the Relay.

Reece & Matthew both won Silver medals in their individual events and we just missed out on the medals in the Relay. Fantastic result!

Reece also put up a good performance in the diving.

I would like to thank the following Scouts who gave up their time on Saturday evening to take part;

Reece, Jenny, Jacob H, Matthew, Kisan, Vincent & Jacob B

They all gave 110% and did the Group proud.

I would also like to thank the parents who watched from the spectator area, for giving up their time and supporting the team, and a special thank-you to Jenny's mum for joining me at the poolside.

Well done to everyone!

All the best,

Adam
