Junior League Round up

The Junior league concluded with Sharks going up against a very strong like up including 2 teams which pull in city of Birmingham swimmers. Sharks finished the gala in 4th place with 134 points. Which out of the 24 teams in the league put us in 15th place in the table, we finished this year with a 2nd, 3rd and a 4th place across the 3 galas. It was a great team effort and a good introduction for all the younger ones into competitive swimming. There were wins in the final round for Eve (50 back), Jacob (50 breast, 50 fly).

Mercian Finals Gala

The Mercian finals gala was held at Pingles Nuneaton, Sharks had qualified to for the A final so we were up against the top 6 teams in the league. The team were amazing on the night and we finished in 4th place. The Girls 13/14 team of Pearl, Phoebe, Amelia and Bella were incredible picking up 5 wins out of the 6 events including both relays. We also had wins for Katie (100 free) and Thomas (100 free).
The "boys" 15+ team was possible the oldest team ever fielded, with masters Neil, Peter, Jake supporting Dalton in posting the fastest 4x200 freestyle time we have recorded this year in 1:48. We have fielded a huge number of swimmers across the 3 galas this year with 59 swimmers taking part, finishing 4th out of the 12 teams was a fantastic result as although the rules knock out some of the fastest swimmers it is still very competitive,.
