ETWALL EAGLES SWIMMING CLUB
The Eagles enjoyed another successful trip to the ASA National
Masters Championships. Twenty swimmers travelled north to Sheffield for the
three day meet.
Highlights were plentiful with no fewer than five swimmers winning
national titles (Julie, Kath, Kirstie, Lindsey, and Ruth) and a further three
gaining medals (Becky, Chris B, and Dave).
One of the many fine performances from Saturday was Julies 200m
Butterfly swim which concluded with a new European record in the 40-44 yrs age
group.
In total nearly fifty club records were broken with seven out of the ten
relay teams setting new club best times.
Congratulations to Mike for a successful debut and Becky for a great
return after a few years away.
There are far too many highlights and personal milestones to mention in
this short report, so well end with Mr Vickers who wins the award for the most
unusual injury.waking up and feeling good after a successful first day, the
Bullet decided to go through his butterfly routine in front of a mirror at
home (how vain?), his eagerness resulted in his shoulder going into a spasm and
a pulled muscle!
Chris, Lindsey, Ruth and Gary - a
medal winning team...
Julie receives her medal....
