The Swindon Tigersharks meet last weekend was a good last chance meet for swimmers aiming for Regional times and excellent race experience for the younger swimmers too. We had 28 swimmers attending, contesting 111 swims between them.

The pool was warm which usually means slightly slower swims however the pool served its purpose and produced 17 Regional times either as new times or improved times. We had 76 PBs, which is a great 68%, and with 57 medals! This is more amazing given that the age groups were banded together e.g. 10/under, 11/12, etc.

No spectators were allowed which meant many parents enjoying the scenic views of the Link Centre, whilst the swimmers have developed a strange but very welcome habit of being well behaved indoors!

The stats are as follows:

  • Swims 111
  • PBs 76
  • Regional times 17

Medals

  • Gold 24
  • Silver 18
  • Bronze 15
