Cotswold League Round 4 on 5 April 2025
The final round of the Cotswold League Galas before the final in Pontypool was held at GL1 hosted by Severnside. The results can be found on our noticeboards.
Despite a couple of our swimmers competing at Bristol, the rest of the team put up a valient effort accruing 17 PBs, 2 new times 5 x 1st places and 12 x 2nd places between them. Some swimmers swam out of their age group to help out their teammates as well as swimming their own races.
Well done to everyone on the night, swimmers, officials, coaches team managers and to the enthusiastic flag wavers.
The finals of the Cotswold League will be held on 26th April at Pontypool.
