Wilmslow Scorpions smash Peak and Plain gala 1
27 Feb 2022
Yesterday a team of 16 swimmers selected by Coach Simon travelled to Crewe Lifestyle Centre to compete in the first team gala held since the end of Covid lockdowns. Swimmers ranged in age between 10 and 16.
The team competed in individual races and team relays. There were seven other teams swimming including Alsager, Knutsford Vikings, Nantwich Seals Northwich Centurions, Poynton Dippers, Sandbach Sharks and Satellites of Macclesfield, Swims have to be within time limits set by the gala organisers and points are assigned on the place that the swimmers come. If swimmers are too fast then they are awarded "speeding tickets" and the swims do not count. The gala is organised within Swim England rules so swimmers can be disqualified for technical infringements and no points awarded.
All the clubs tried their best but Wilmslow came away as winners!
