Blandford Swimmers Flying on PB Sunday
A massive well done to everyone who swam at the weekend's end of Season County Development Meet.
We had 19 swimmers who entered the event over the weekend and between them they accumulated 59 Personal Best Times, 19 Gold medals, 10 Silver, and 12 Bronzes. This in itself was an impressive haul for our club, it was particularly impressive by the nature of some of the PBs achieved (there were some truly fantastic swims completed) and the support given to each member of the team as they did their swims. Strong support from their fellow swimmers and the parents shouting from the balcony really drew the best out of everyone.
Aside some outstanding individual results we ended up naming the Sunday morning session, "PB Sunday" as it turned into a bit of a personal best festival by everyone present - with PBs being set on nearly every swim and the entire morning's PB and Gold medal count being virtually twice that of any other session - all very exciting to watch and for the coaches a very proud morning - the whole weekend was in fact a rewarding effort for everyone.
A full set of results can be found in the Downloads section.
Now with just a couple of week's left before we turn down the training for the summer all focus is on the final round of the Jurassic League, where we are currently sitting joint 3rd. It will be one heck of a challenge to still be in that position at the end of the league, but we are definitely going to give it our best shot and either way we'll make a good night of it overall.
With Tuesday night swims now complete for the summer the remaining sessions will still have some technical work within them, but there will also be a greater element of fun stuff and our last main season session on Friday 19th July will be a light session with some relays and fun races. After that we will continue through the summer with the Wednesday and Friday sessions, which will be mostly technical, but will be fun also.
