Well done to everyone who competed at the Sports Aid. It was Nina's first time seeing you all compete and she said she was very impressed with how well you all swum.
I was very pleased to see that the group achieved 97 PB's out of 130 Swims, 18 more NER times, 1 National time, 7 Gold Medals, 9 Silver Medals and 6 Bronze Medals. Another weekend of excellent racing.
In March 2010 the group had only qualified in 5 events at the North Eastern Counties by 5 swimmers. In 2012 nearly everyone in the squad holds a North Eastern time, qualifying in a number of events. Keep up the hard work, the training is paying off.
Gold Medalists (5)
Viktoria (1), Hannah (1), Liam (2), Rebecca (1), Harry (2)
Silver Medalists (6)
Shaheen (3), Liam (2), Leah (1), Jake (1), Harry (1), Emily (1)
Bronze Medalists (5)

Well done to Harry who now has 2 National times. The second swimmer in C Central to ever have a National time.
With the North Eastern's coming up (our major competition) make sure every turn, every start, every finish is practiced like you would do in a race to give yourself a chance of knocking those seconds off and moving up the results sheet to the top. Try and attend all sessions between now and the North Eastern's to give yourself the best chance of doing well.
Being your best...
"Being your best is not so much about overcoming the barriers other people place in front of you as it is about overcoming the barriers we place in front of ourselves. It has nothing to do with how many times you win or lose. It has no relation to where you finish in a race or whether you break world records. But it does have everything to do with having the vision to dream, the courage to recover from adversity and the determination never to be shifted from your goals".
