On Saturday we saw 14 swimmers competing. Aaron, Adam C, Adam M, Amy Q, Bebhionn, Charlotte, Christopher, Cory, Grace, Jamie, Jessica, Olivia, Natasha and Rebecca competed in a total of 36 races. There are just too many races to go into detail but every swimmer went home with at least one PB or a new time in a race they had never competed in before. Over the afternoon we saw huge PBs, qualifying times and division 2 times. Aaron and Jamie also went home with medals, a bronze for Aaron in the 100 free and to finish off a silver for Jamie in the 100 fly.
On Sunday it was the turn of our younger swimmers. Charlotte and Olivia came back to compete for a second day and they were accompanied by Aoife, Joseph, Matilda and Thomas. Christopher also came back for a second day and saw a different side of swimming. He was a great help to Jonathan escorting the swimmers to each event, making sure they were in the “right place at the right time”.
Given that these swimmers are only between 8 and 10 years old you would think that the 50m pool would be even more daunting, but as always they proved us wrong. Each swimmer again raced down that pool to go home with new times and Olivia topped the weekend off with a super bronze in her 50 free.
Another great weekend for Lecale!!
