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.

The Junior League Galas aim to provide a relaxed and healthy competitive environment for developing swimmers, and improve support and networking across clubs in the north of the County.

• FODSC hosted the first gala which took place at 8 March. 34 swimmers competed for FODSC with 7 new to competition, so well done everyone. The results can be found on our noticeboards at the pools.
• The final results were FODSC 158, Cirencester 143, Tewkesbury 116 and Gloucester 101 points. But more important was the enthusiasm and enjoyment had by all the teams in a friendly atmosphere. The cheering was off the scale on many occasions and we are looking forward to the next gala on 29 March at Cirencester.

Team spirit was alive and kicking at the Cotswold League Round 2 Gala with Forest of Dean Swimmers coming joint 2nd with Cheltenham, with Clevedon winning. Well done everyone who journeyed to Hutton Moor to compete, officate, volunteer and cheer on the team.
