A great weekend of swimming at sunny Blackpool.What a great gala with a fantastic atmosphere and some great swims despite the heat, well done to all those that managed to take part and commiserations to those that didn't make it due to the qualifying times being cut. I thought Blackpool ASC did a fantastic job in organising this gala, it must have been a knightmare logistically to cram all those swims into a weekend. I can't go into too much detail here as it would take up half the webpage but here's a quick run down of some of the main achievements over the course of the weekend. With such hard competition from all over the North West you've done really well to finish in the top 10 in any event, so here's a list of the swimmers who placed 10th or above.
