||
|---|---|---|
The club sent a squad of 31 swimmers to the 22nd Margate Age Group Gala. On a sunny day the Hartsdown Leisure Centre was as normal - HOT!. The heat though seemed to suit the Canterbury swimmers, far more than the parents and spectators as the club bagged a total of 29 medals including 9 first places. For results click here... |

Erin Walsh (9) swimming in the 1996 age group dominated all the girls events. She won all four individual titles taking the backstroke, butterfly and freestyle all in personal best times and taking the breaststroke by a very large winning margain. Lizzie Wells (12) Showed little effects of hard swims the day before at the Southern Counties Meeting and produced four very strong swims in the 1994 age group. She won both the backstroke and the breaststroke and then was very unfortunate to be pipped into second place on the touch in both the freestyle and butterfly. Liam Drew (11) had a tremendous meeting taking first place in the 1995 age group freestyle and butterfly. He then went on to swim in to a solid second place in the backstroke. To complete a great all round performance he finished in 6th place in the breaststroke. |
