Midlothian Spring Meet - Prestonpans, 26-27 April 2014
16 swimmers from Inverleith took part on the first day of this Meet and 18 on the second day and between them achieved 69 PBs! The competition covered the 100, 200 & 400m distances, making it a varied programme.
Inverleith finished 3rd overall which was fantastic. A special mention to the younger swimmers who did very well considering the large number of swimmers competing in the lower age groups.

Hearts Novice Meet - Musselburgh Leisure Centre 11 May 2014
A busy weekend as this was the day after Round 3 of the Lothian Leagues.
We had 14 swimmers taking part in which I tell the swimmers is a ‘learning gala’ as for some of them it is their first experience of external competition. There are no disqualifications & before each stroke is swum there are demonstrations to show good technique, starts & turns. Our swimmers were very taken with one of the breaststroke drills & frequently ask to do it now!
Over the two sessions we managed to produce a massive 43 PBs which is fantastic. The swimmers also brought back a big haul of medals & Ines Donald received an ‘I swam too fast’ certificate.

Gold: Joshua Mitchell 50 Fly
Michael Skakle 50 B/C

Swim West Lothian IM Tough Meet - Bathgate 16-18 May 2014
Last year we had a few swimmers at this event and because everyone had such a good time, we decided to enter a bigger team this year. Swum over five sessions, the first, held on the Friday evening was for the longer distances (800m girls & 1500m for boys). Fraser Allison & Joe Penman swam the 1500m and both achieved great times with Fraser coming 2nd & Joe 6th. Well done both!
Between 12 -16 swimmers took part in the remaining four sessions. Events ranged from 50m for all strokes to 400m in the IM and Free. The fastest 6 boys and girls in the 50 Free qualified for the final ‘Skins’ event. Well done to Fraser Allison who made it through to the third round of the Skins before being knocked out.
Medals were awarded over each session rather than individual races.
We managed 65 PBs over the weekend - again lots of great swims. Places for individual events can be found on the SwimScotland website.
