Looking good at Leicester...

Ilkeston Swimming Club made the journey to Leicester over the weekend to swim in the final round of the Leicester Winter League at Enderby Leisure Centre. But, this time with no snow - weather conditions looked ok with a sunny, humid  and breezy evening. Ilkeston started the night in 12th position in the league table. On paper it looked like it was going to be a very interesting competition and it did not dissapoint with Ilkeston Swimmers showing the opposing teams what were all about!

The points were very tight between the teams through-out the gala but Ilkeston stepped up to the mark and swam some super swims helping them push further gaining more points to add to the total. Overall Ilkeston accumulated a total of 6 first places, 10 second places and 6 third places.

The final result on the night saw Ilkeston finish in a very respectable 5th position with a very small squad of swimmers. Well done to everyone that swam in the first, second and the third and final round of the Leicester League Competition. 

Overall Results from Round 3 - Enderby

1st Shepshed 193
2nd Leicester Sharks D 179
3rd Coalville B 179
4th Wellingborough B 178
5th Ilkeston 147

County Champs 2012 - The Super Six

Two fantastic weekends of swimming saw Ilkeston Swimmers achieve outstanding results from all the hard work they have put in at training for weeks and months on end and it all came down to these two weekends of racing at the Derbyshire ASA County Championships.

The first weekend of racing set off to a flying start at the new 8 laned swimming pool Matlock ARC Leisure Centre. The results were looking very promising with good times being swam; several personal best times being recorded by the team, along with several top six finishes and medals. After two great days of swimming everyone was shattered but very pleased with their results they had swam. All the swimmers went home knowing that they had a very successful weekend in the pool.

The second weekend begun like we finished at Matlock swimming hard and fast pushing ourselves to our limits and proving that anything is possible if you train hard, believe in yourself and believe in your coach! Swimmer's already had previous experience of swimming in Chesterfield's Queens Leisure Centre pool so nothing phased them as they went from strength to strength to finish the County Championships on a high. 

Ilkeston Swimmers looked composed, professional, had positive attitudes and above all showed their team spirit, dedication and commitment with lots of praise for each other. Overall, Ilkeston accumulated at total of 27 personal best times out of 35 races, 18 top six county finishes and 9 medals in total. A very successful turn-around with only six swimmers taking part.

A big thank you to Mick Howard, Ilkeston's Head Coach and the Parents of Ilkeston Swimming Club from all the swimmers for all their encouragement, support, inspiration, motivational talks and backing! Two very fun and successful weekends of swimming with some exceptional results and performances from the swimmers! 

Well done to these Swimmers:

Charlie Palmer
Kyle Hudson
Ben Saunders
Grace Vivian
Cameron Halliday
Robert Hudson

A full news report of the event will be available soon! Once again congratulations to all involved!
