LSC Speedo squad go Hawaiian - and bag a top 3 place!

Members of the IDS and NDS squads acquitted themselves with considerable grace & style at the National B final of the Speedo league today and enjoyed the moment to boot!

Each swimmer adorned poolside with beach shirt, garlands and topped with a day-glo pink swimhat - "stepped up to the plate" and gave of their best during the 50 event contest battling some of the nation's best clubs.

Earlier estimates from the aqua - cognoscenti (LSC parents) recognised that a top 3 place would be a "big ask". And so it proved, until the final few events when we managed to nose ahead of Lincoln Vulcans whom we had been 'nip and tuck' with throughout. Those fortunate enough to witness the 50th and final event will carry the memory of it into posterity.

Perhaps the only minor irritation on the day was the shock victory of City of Liverpool SC's supporters over the ever noisy LSC Wigs. As big a surprise (allegedly) as their home town's football squad unexpected win against our "Stoke D'Abernon trained" team from the south, for a place in the FA Cup Final!
