Ilkeston SC - Promising Performance's

Ilkeston SC - Promising Performance's at the Long Eaton Open 2012

Ilkeston Swimmers were on top form once again with fantastic performances from the squad in the first competitive open meet of the 2012 season. Last Sunday, swimmers made the short trip to Derby's Queens Leisure Centre for the Long Eaton Open Meet.

Ilkeston Swimmers racked up several personal best times and in most cases absolutely smashed their previous best times by several seconds. This just shows all the hard work, dedication and commitment at training is paying off!

Not only did we have lots of pb's we also had some trophy winners from ILKESTON SC!!

Congratulations to all these swimmers:

Emily Middleton
Kyle Hudson
Ben Saunders
Charlie Palmer (Boys 10 Years 50m Breast Finalist & 4th and Boys 10 Years 200m Freestyle 5th)

Sophie King (Girls Under 11 Years 200m Freestyle 6th)

Total Personal Bests: 26

Swimmers were very worn out and tired after a very long day of three sessions worth of swimming which totalled to 12 hours altogether. But after all said and done, they all gave good performances and have made themselves and their club very proud. The effort and team spirit continues to be an outstanding factor and key to our success! You are great ambassadors for your club and you definitely gave other swimmers a run for their money!

Keep up the hard work in training, great stuff and well done!
