Yorkshire Sprints and Teams – the Roll of Honour
With the top ten fastest swimmers in each event qualifying for the Final, it is pleasing to report that out of the 88 swims, YCBC swimmers achieved a pleasing total of 49 Personal Bests and 14 achieved a fast enough swim to take part in a Final of their respective events. Well done everyone!
Yorkshire Sprints and Teams 2014
As is the case every year, the Ponds Forge pool arena was packed out and people queued all around the foyer as everyone in the family comes to see their son or daughter swim in the 50m sprints for all ages from 9 through to 90 – well actually 43 was the oldest swimmer in this year’s programme.
