Some of our Scarborough Swimmers............
As the swimming season reaches its final stages for 2014/2015 34 swimmers headed to Scarborough for the ever popular Scarborough Swimming Club A & B Gala 2015 (Short course). While the emphasis was always on competition there was also an emphasis on having fun and on team spirit.
The weekend started on Friday evening with the 200m freestyle and 400m freestyle events and the squad started as they meant to continue with Macy Yoxall, Lewis Baker and Abigail Miles all winning gold medals with other medal winners including Lola Yoxall, Kalum Smart, Lucy Greatorex, Jessica Richardson, Harriet Ostrowski-Jones and Georgia Hamblett. On the first evening we won 4 Gold Medals, 6 Silver Medals and 2 Bronze Medals.
More success followed on Saturday and Sunday.
In the A Grade our swimmers gained 47 medals: 3 Speeding tickets, 16 Gold Medals and 12 Bronze Medals. In the B Grade our swimmers gained 14 Speeding tickets, 17 Gold Medals, 11 Silver Medals and 11 Bronze Medals. In total the swimmers achieved 155 short course PB's - a fantastic effort. Events included 50m and 100m freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly plus 100m IM and 200m IM.
