Matlock Friendly Gala 2012 - 3rd Spot for ISC

Last weekend Ilkeston Swimming Club swam at the Matlock and District Swimming Club A Grade Friendly Gala. Ilkeston took their squad to the brand new eight lane competition pool in Derbyshire. Some of the swimmers had already swam in this pool at Counties so it was great to come back and use these fantastic facilities once again!

There were several debut swims for the squad and they didn't dissapoint! Massive congratulations go to the following swimmers on their first competitive starts with Ilkeston Swimming Club:

Sophie Jackson,
Ellie Chadburn-Tennyson
Abigail Butterworth
Julie Woods
Kirsten Buchanan
Mick Howard

Some great performances from the whole squad!!

The squad were given different races from what they would usually have swam in at a club gala but, swimmers were happy to swim them once the pre-race nerves had settled and the gala began! Saying that some swimmers hadn't swam that race in a while there were plenty of personal bests coming from them so well done!

The team spirit and ethos was outstanding as usual with swimmers/coaches and parentsmaking lots of noise and shouting the Ilkeston swimmers on! Keep it up!!

As for personal best times, there were hats full again! So, well done all!!

Big thank you to everyone on poolside, a great team effort saw Ilkeston take 3rd place from some super swimming! Well done!!!!

Ilkeston Swimmers on Rampage at Rykneld...



A great weekend of Swimming gave Ilkeston Swimmers a lot to smile about as they pulled out all of the stops against their competition at the Rykneld Open Meet. Swimmers went on rampage giving dominating performances securing their event by at least a length in most cases.

Overall the team racked up a massive total of 42 personal best times! To add to the great success of smashing their personal bests there were also lots of medals and trophies that were won on the day! The morning session saw the team win 26 medals/trophies in what was a very pleasing start to the open meet but, it didnt end there! After the lunch break, the afternoon session begun and it didnt dissapoint! The swimmers didnt take their foot off the gas and gave more outstanding performances to collect another 27 medals/trophies between the team!

So, overall the medals table ended with Ilkeston gaining 53 in total! Surely, the best team there!

Ilkeston's coaches were very impressed with the results and said, "Swimmers were showing positive attitudes on the block and in the pool, giving some great performances and putting what they had learnt in training into action against their competitors". Paula added, "Brilliant performances, team spirit and a great time had by all! Well done everyone!" Mick also said, "Great swimming from the Ilkeston Swimmers; a huge haul of trophies, medals and masses of pb's!" 

Congratulations to these Swimmers:

Megan Lyhnam, Kyle Hudson, Ben Saunders, Chelsea Sanders, Cameron Halliday, Sophie Lyhnam, Abigail Sloan, Emily Middleton, Jo Saunders, Mitchell Sanders, Shannen Sidoli, Mary Traynor, Nathan Beecroft, Tom Moloney, Sophie King, Charlotte Butterworth, Christel Draycott

Also, a big congratulations to Mary Traynor and Charlotte Butterworth on making their first Ilkeston Swimming Club competitive debut at there first open meet!
