Son Ian had 3 silvers in the 50m, 100m Back and 100m FS and 1 bronze in the 50 FS. Luke Westwood had 2 Silver medals in the 200m Breast and 200m IM. Andrea Viola had a bronze in the 200m Breast and Alan Wallace a bronze in the 200m Back. We also had 2 bronze medals in the ladies 72+ 4 X 50m FS relay and the mixed 72+ 4 x 50m IM.Most swimmers achieved at least one PB with Steve Buckley & Vince Pottier and Luke Westwood having PBs in all their swims. All in all a pretty good weekend for the club and a big thanks to Stu for the coaching and the great job he does sorting everybody and doing timed sprints, getting splits Etc, even when, on one ocassion, we had 3 swimmers in one pool and one in the other pool swimming at the same time! He looked more shattered than the swimmers by Sunday afternoon.
