Mia tastes victory!

Well done to Mia Slevin, who plucked up the courage to enter her first Open meet at the Queens Street pool on 14th and 15th April.

Mia, who has trained exceptionally hard and has shown vague signs of promise these past few weeks, delighted herself and her parents by performing splendidly to gain 2 second places, 3 victories and 5 club records in just 5 swims. It was especially nice to see her turning up with her medals to support her friends at the time trials on Sunday evening after 2 long days for her.

Congratulations Mia. Everyone at the club is very proud of you.

Channel Swim

A group of 6 club members of varying ages and ability have decided to take on the English Channel as a relay team, and by doing so hope to raise money for their own specified charities.
