Soundwell Swimming Club

The Bristol Central development gala was the first gala for many of the swimmers from C and D squad. The night started off with lots of very nervous swimmers and but with the support of our older swimmers; Alice Kerslake, Neve Foreshaw, Millie Wreathrall King and Amber Perry their nerves soon went away. We had whole stack of PB’s and lots of smiley faces by end of the evening. The parents  looked really pleased and incredibly proud of their children. It was the first time that some of them had dived from the starting blocks and competed in a race.

There was a great atmosphere on poolside, we had new volunteers helping the club and the event run smoothly. Laura Miles (Danny and Josh Miles Mum) and Sharon Bryan (Maya’s Mum) stepped up and took charge as Chaperones and they did a brilliant job of organising the swimmers ready for their races. Karen and I really appreciated their hard work on a busy night.

Dave and George Clements took on the role of club official and timekeeper. They both did a really super job of recording all the race times which we will share on the website.

Karen and I would like to thank all the parents’/carers’ who came to support the Soundwell swimmers,  hopefully it will be the first of many more galas to come.

Best wishes

Claire and Karen
