Well done to all swimmers who competed at the Microleague gala in Southport this Saturday . It was always going to be a tough challenge competing in the top division with some of our regular swimmers unavailable. However, this gave opportunities to our up and coming swimmers, some who were competing for the first time- and they did not disappoint us. The effort they put in ensured that we gained points in heats against very strong opponents. Swimming for the girls: Lizzie Woodcock(captain), Milly Arcangelo, Anika Anderson, Katie Doughty, Holly McHugh, Katie Henry, Kiera Dunstan, Kate Eastwood, Georgia Ashton, Mia-Louise Pilkington, Emma Baker, Rachel Parr, Ellie Hancock, Lucy Goldthorpe, Jemmima Stubbs and Imogen Blackwell. Swimming for the boys: Luka hyam(captain), Isaac Brennand, Liam Hardman, Liam Donahoe, Scott Paynter, Joe Arcangelo, Alex Fitzpatrick, George Wilson, Daniel Caley, Lucas Brennand, Jayden Lowe, Callum Ward and Joe Parkinson Special mention goes to those who had to 'swim up' against older opposition, namely: Isaac Brennand, Scott Paynter, Liam Hardman, Liam Donahoe Also those who won their heats: Lizzie Woodcock(12yr) 50 free+ 50 fly Georgia Ashton(10yr) 50 back Joe Arcangelo(10yr) 50 free Isaac Brennand(11yr) 50 fly+50 breast- he won the 11yrs 50m fly just 6 races after winning the same event in the 12 yrs age group. Against swimmers a whole year older! Another mention goes to a potential future captain, Imogen Blackwell(9yr), who spotted one of the poolside helpers sending one of her teammates to get changed when they still had another race- well done Imogen!
