The second gala of the weekend took place at Leeds, where 11 of our swimmers took part. Being a level 2, this gala was selected to provide a chance to push our more experienced swimmers into harder competition and I think it's safe to say it did exactly that. Each session not only had heats for several events but was followed by finals for all but 400m events straight afterwards, within the same session, for the top ten finishers in certain age groups. Not for the faint hearted! There were some very tired swimmers by the end of the last session (and parents!). The swimmers put up some great performances, lots of pb's, finalists galore and lots of medals. The competition was pretty tough but the team certainly made their mark. Virtually all our swimmers made it to at least one final, most made it to finals in the majority of their events, quite a few of them got to the final in every event they entered. Quite a challenge, which involved certain swimmers getting out of the pool at the end of one final to get straight back to the blocks for the next!Well done to you all, you did the club and yourselves proud.
