Smashed it!

What a way to kick off the new swimming season!

Our swimmers travelled to Leeds for our first gala visit of the season and delivered a fantastic weekend of racing, showing just how much their hard work in training is paying off.

Across an incredible 175 swims, the team achieved a massive 112 personal bests – a brilliant result and a great reflection of the effort, commitment and determination being shown throughout the squad.

From the first race to the last, our swimmers stepped up and raced with confidence. There were plenty of strong performances, exciting finishes and big improvements in the pool, with PBs coming thick and fast throughout the gala.

But meets like this aren't just about the times on the clock. It was fantastic to see the team supporting one another, enjoying their racing and representing the club brilliantly both on poolside and in the water.

For this point in the season, 112 PBs from 175 swims gives us plenty to be excited about. It provides a fantastic platform to build from as training continues and we head towards the next competitions on the calendar.

A huge well done to every swimmer who competed, and thank you to our coaches, team managers, officials, volunteers and parents for all the support that makes weekends like this possible.

175 swims. 112 PBs. One brilliant start to the season.

Well done, team – onto the next one! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️
