Mini Champs Round 2

Round 2 of the Mini Champs, held on Sunday evening, was another excellent event with EVEN younger, and smaller, swimmers taking part this time! Many were nervous about their races,being coached on starts,touches and turns as they approached the blocks but everyone seemed determined and really tried their best. Some were disappointed to be disqualified,others ecstatic at winning their first medal-all important aspects of swimming and equally valuable.
We were in good company as some of our elite, International Development squad attended to support the younger swimmers which was greatly appreciated.Their loud and enthusiastic support scared a few swimmers but, again, is something they have to get used to!!

The evening was concluded with the presentation of the prestigious Top Boy and Girl awards. These are won by those swimmers who accumulate the most points in the gala.
The shields were presented by our Olympian-Matt Kidd and Lauren Parsons- National development squad captain to:

Under 10's-Benjamin King and Eleanor Wilson
Over 10's- Shayeree Davda and Ross McGregor-CONGRATULATIONS!
