PROGRAMME 2015

Peter Markham swam 495m in a 10 minute times swim on 13th November, only 5m off the club record held by Thomas Slater. Well done, Peter!

Date for the Diary

The BDSC Christmas party has been booked for 11th December 2015, in the cafe after the swim session.

A big congratulations to all our swimmers representing Region 8, particularly the Junior Team who retained their Junior Team Winners Trophy. The senior team lost Aaron Peters to a sickness bug on the morning of the competition. Despite efforts to find a substitute (Stefan had left for football, Chris was busy, Paul Fletcher off the mobile radar)the Mens Relay had to withdraw and Mark Day pulled out all the stops, unselfishly competing in both heats and finals of the 2 and 4 lengths in a very short space of time. Despite the setback and gallantry the team were 3rd in the overall competition (out of 10 regions). We were 1 point away from the Runner Up Trophy and only 4 points away from winning. Full results will appear when we have them but medal and trophy successes were:

Juniors

Daniel Hodge                     Bronze medal

Natalie Dillon                     Bronze medal

Bethany Kelly                     Silver medal

Cole Lyson                          Silver medal
