CARNEGIE GRADED MEET
19/20.01.19 – Glenrothes
 
This meet was so long ago that it has blurred into all the rest of the competitions since then!! It was a graded meet which means swimmers cannot be faster than the given times to enter & at the meet there are ‘TOO FAST’ awards given to swimmers who swim 2% faster than the entry times. The ‘TOO FAST’ awards were lovely so well done to those who achieved them.
 
A few of our swimmers opted to do 400F/C & every one of them swam a PB & raced it really well. Anna Perry took an amazing 51secs off her entered time. We managed 40 PB’s, 6 medals & 4 ‘TOO FAST’ awards.

EAST DISTRICT Round 4 – Finals
RCP 9 & 10.02.19
 
We had lots of swimmers who qualified for individual events as well as several relays at the above meet. This was the final round of the series of East District events (EDAGS) which, this year, was split into four rounds. I think we had 38 PB swims in total. Some of the times were not faster than the entered times but as a lot of the times were conversions from a short course time (25m time) they count as long course PB’s.
 
It was a very long weekend but at least it was at the commie which reduced the amount of travelling. Our swimmers were fantastic & raced really well over the course of the weekend.
 
Places as follows:
Silver – Boys 15/16 Free Relay – Cameron Alexander, Daniel Penman, Kerr Duncan    & Felix Hale
 
Bronze – Felix Hale 200IM, 100F/C
               Ines Donald 100BR
               Boys 15/16 Medley Relay – Felix Hale, Kerr Duncan, Cameron Alexander & Daniel Penman
Sixth – Felix Hale 100B/C
            Greig McVicar 100F/C
            Charlotte Drainer 100BR
            13/14 Boys Medley Relay – Ben Gray, Michael Skakle, Joshua Drainer & Greig McVicar
            !3/14 Boys Free Relay – Greig McVicar, Michael Skakle, Joshua Drainer & Ben Gray
Seventh – 13/14 Girls Free Relay – Sasha Hale, Cara Bryce, Anna Perry & Ines Donald
                 15/16 Girls Free Relay – Lucy McDonald, Abbi Reid, Kate Gray & Orla Kennedy

SNAGS LAST CHANCE AGE GROUP MEET
Sunday 24.02.19 - Bathgate
 
Very well done to all the swimmers who took part in this meet. We had some super swims both in the morning session & in the afternoon one. Our swimmers managed 13PB swims over the course of the day & the swims that weren’t PB’s were very close to the swimmers times.
 
 Michael Skakle & Joshua Drainer both had fantastic swims in the 200Fly with Michael taking 10secs off his entered time & Joshua 7secs off, which gives them both consideration times for SNAGS. Joshua also improved his 100Fly by 1.5secs & his 400IM by 4.5secs. Michael had another great swim in his 100B/C & improved by 2.5secs.
 
Lucy McDonald had two great swims having not long returned to training & competition after having surgery to her foot. Her Fly was faster than she had done at EDAGS & she managed a PB in her F/C. Very brave swimming Lucy.
 
Greig McVicar won his 100F/C with an improvement of 3.3secs on his entered time & took a second & a half off his 100Fly.
 
Ines Donald came third in her 100F/C & then very soon after that had a 200Fly which she improved by a second & another third place.
 
Ben Gray had a super 200B/C swim dropping his time by 2.5secs & nearly giving me heart failure with his start!!!

ANNUAL PRESENTATION DANCE

By now you’re probably aware that IASC is having the annual presentation dance on the 02/03/2019. We hope to see as many people as possible there on the night.

We are hoping to hold a small auction on that night to raise funds to support the club.

To this end we are looking for donations from as many of you as possible that we can auction on the night, please also donate prizes for the raffle.

We would be hugely grateful for any donation you or any local businesses you may work for/own/be affiliated with might be able to make to help support our fundraising efforts.

All donations will be properly thanked and acknowledged on the evening (unless you ask us not to of course).

Examples of some things that seem to go well are meal vouchers, beauty or nail vouchers, whisky, sports tops, nights away and wine or Art or signed merchandise. These are just some examples of things but really if you can donate or source anything at all that would be fantastic.

If you can’t donate anything then you could still help on the night by putting your bids in for any of the items we have got.  Also you can buy raffle tickets too.

Email Brenda Perry mrsbrendaperry@hotmail.com or call 07581102771 with any questions or to arrange donations. Thanks in advance.




The Annual Presentation Dance is on Saturday 2 March at 7pm in Duddingston Golf Club.

TORREMOLINOS TRAINING CAMP


Torremolinos training camp, 11th-16th February 2019,  Twenty-four Performance swimmers attended the intense Torremolinos training camp this year.  They swam 4 hours a day and over the course of the camp swam up to 42kms!

The swimmers worked incredibly hard and committed to every training session, even though they were awake at 5.15am every morning for their 6am till 8am session and then back in the pool in the early afternoon.  Obviously, they did have some time to rest and they spent that either at the beach, eating enormous quantities of local doughnuts or sleeping.

We look forward to seeing their hard work pay off in the forthcoming competitions.  Finally, a a massive thanks to Fiona, Gillian, Chris and David and Alex for coaching the swimmers and organising another successful training camp.
