Keynsham A 152

Keynsham B 58

Well done to the junior swimmers that competed in the above gala. It was a strongly fought gala. Weston had a great team and well done to them on their excellent win. Keynsham unfortunatly had some big gaps in some of their age groups which meant that swimmers were swimming up an age or two. Katie Parfitt deserves a mention for her wins in the 10, 11 and 12 year old age groups! Great swimming Katie.

Thanks to our club captains and all our other volenteers for helping with this gala.

WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT CHANNEL SWIM

Well done James Elmer who has been selected and Rosalind Cranham who is a reserve for the attempt to break a World record in the youngest cross channel team of 6 in a relay which will be held in Aug 2010. Both children have had vigorous tests and have been selected because of their technique, stamina, age and tolerance to cold water. Now the training really begins! Very good luck to you both.
