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!!!!
