Scorpions did it! We are overall joint champions, Joint Junior champions and runner up in the seniors.
The fourth and final round took place on Saturday 17th June.
Don't forget to sign up for the Club Championships. Closing date is Friday 16th June.
Round 2 took place on Saturday 22nd April, 28 swimmers attended the gala with our coaches Pete and Graham. Yet again we saw some fantastic swimming, everyone competing did scorpions proud. Sputniks round 1 consisted of breaststroke and freestyle, which means round 2 was backstroke and butterfly along with another IM.
The 2022/23 season of the peaks and plains swimming league has now come to an end, with Wilmslow scorpions finishing in second place. An amazing performance off all our swimmers guided by our head coach Simon and coach Steph.
Saturday 18 March 2023 saw a team of 43 swimmers and our coaches Pete and Graham travel to Macclesfield Leisure Centre to compete in round 1 of Sputniks. We saw some fantastic swimming, for many of our swimmers competing it was their first away gala. Everyone competing did scorpions proud.
Saturday 11th March saw Wilmslow scorpions take to the pool for the second year participating in British Long Distance Swimming Association distance swim.
Good luck to our swimmers going to Macclesfield this weekend to swim in the Cheshire County Championships 2023. Delighted that we have 5 swimmers who qualified and are representing Wilmslow Scorpions as well as a few dual club swimmers.
