Due to a cancellation in February, this was our first East London Mini League gala this year – lots coming up in the autumn. We came second out of six teams, and it was extremely close in the middle, so we did very well indeed. This is a B graded gala, and the aim is not to swim faster than the allotted times, but that is up to us to put the right swimmer in the right race! Lots of great swims and PB’s as usual. Many thanks to those who helped out poolside and with the timings.

We came third in this gala, and would have come second if we’d been able to swim the last two races legally, but with a team of only 7 girls and 7 boys we had to declare our final races. Fantastic performance from all those who did come though with lots of great results and times. This was a lot of swimming for everyone with such small teams, so really well done. Many thanks to all the parents who helped out – Marnie, David, Chris, and coaches Chelsea and Sarah.

Report on the Eric Penwill u 13 relay gala, held at Southbury Road on 22nd Feb 2010

Aaron, James B, Bede, Ned, Alex, Oisin, Jake, Bede, Adam, Harry, Thomas, Rene, Ethan,
We came 6th in this very demanding relay gala. Lots of PB’s for our swimmers and really good swims. We lost four boys on the day, which meant that we didn’t in the end have our quota of 9 year olds, therefore declaring 3 races. The U11 girls did well in their medley coming 2nd, and we had two 4th places as well for U13 boys freestyle and U12 girls freestyle.
A few club records on these 25m times:-
Aaron – U10 25m back
Adam – U12 25m Back
Phoebe – U12 25m Breast
Thomas – U14 25m Breast
Adam – U12 25m Free
So well done to them, and to all the swimmers. I think everyone got a PB at some point during the evening. Highlighted in Red on the Results Sheet.
