A fantastic week at Harrogate team!. I think this meet must be the closest C Central has come to achieving 100% PB's in one Gala.
The group managed to deliver 63 PB's out of 64 Swims, 22 more NER times, 12 Speeding Tickets, 15 Gold's, 9 Silvers and 7 Bronze Medals. A phenomenal effort from everyone.
I thought there was a really big improvement on turn speed and distance under the water off the walls, keep this up during training. Everyone was in great shape and this was shown especially in the 200m races, you were all managing to to keep your speed up in the back two 50's and not dying off. Great racing everyone, I was really impressed.

C Central mascot Jean would like to pass on her congratulations to you all. Jean got very excited as she stood waving her programme during a number of races over the weekend. She said she had a fantastic weekend watching you all and she is very proud. She will be keeping a watchful eye on you all in the lead up to the North Eastern Counties.
A number of items were collected by the coaches at the end of the meet. Anyone who left anything behind at Harrogate such as club kit, bottles etc can collect it from the Denison suite on Monday night.
Also a big thank you to all the team managers who volunteered to help out over the weekend. You did an excellent job.
