Last night's races saw 17 swimmers brave the cold and show up for some really fantastic racing. For some reason numbers are down a little. I was busy visualising the bottom of the pool - you would think that after 40 years of swimming I had some idea what it looks like but you are WRONG, I am clueless! So that's my excuse, what's yours? If it's the cold, well the news is that last June was the warmest June on record. So come along, if for no other reason than the mellowpuff at the end of it.
These 17 swimmers produced 19 records between them. That's more than a record each, that's an amazing effort; 16 to the men, 2 to the men and 1 relay record. Check out the record pages, they are looking quite impressive.
Tanya (is that Queen Tanya) Sutton was crowned Swimmer of the Month. Tanya has shown a great deal of discipline and enthusiasm and is very eager to learn everything she can to improve her swimming. The pay off has been extraordinary - she has moved up 3 lanes and is delicately poised for another lane shift. Well done Tanya (or is that Tanz when you come from Oz?).
Finally, please note in your diaries that next race night will be on 13th August due to the annual pool closure and a few regular race night attendees being out of action while they attend the Samoa Swim Series (most notably the person who compiles all the results so I think we all agree a delay is in order - hear hear).
