Sports Aid Results

Another good weekend of racing.  Well done to everyone who swam.  There were 38 PB's out of 67 Swims, 4 more NER times, 4 Gold medals, 2 Silvers and 7 Bronze medals.  The swims that were not PB's were very close.  With the North Eastern Counties coming up very soon it is important each of you puts in 100% effort, concentration and determination in training over the next few weeks, it is this that will prepare you for your events.

Great Job! Winking smile

Something to think about.......

"You do not want to get on the block before your race thinking I wish I could have done more in training.  Practice every start, turn and finish like you would do in a race, then all you will have to think about is winning."  

"I swam the race like I trained to swim it. It is not mathematical. I just let my body do it. It is a lot easier if you let your body do what it is trained for."
