Christopher and Olivia started the morning off well both with 4th place finishes in the 100m breast and 50m back respectively. In the afternoon Bebhionn and Daniel joined them for a busy afternoon of swimming. They joined forces to compete in a freestyle relay. Amongst a wide field including much older swimmers they came 6th place overall. This spurred them all on to see some great swims with each going home with new PBs.
Daniel went home with a 7th place in the 100m back and a super silver medal with a PB in the 50m breast. He finished the day off with a new PB in the 100m free. Bebhionn had great swims, placing 4th in the 100m free with a massive 13.85s PB. She took home a super gold medal and PB in the 50m fly alongside swimming the 200 IM. Christopher went home with a 4th and 7th place finish in his 200 IM and 100 free. Christopher stayed to compete in the very last event of the day, the 100m freestyle kick with fins and it didn’t disappoint. He swam to a super gold medal with a 25sec improvement on his entry time.
Although not reflected with any medals Olivia really was the swimmer of the day. She gained 3 new PBs in her 50m breast, 50m fly and 100m free. Overall she went home with three 4th place and a 5th place finish. She missed out on a medal in her 50m fly by the narrowest of margins…0.01sec! Another super day of swimming.
Next weekend sees another big weekend for Lecale. Friday night is our annual AGM and Awards Night for all our Lecale swimmers. On Saturday 9 Lecale swimmers are heading to the Bangor Aurora to compete in the Down Minor Championships. Good luck to everyone taking part.
