Layla won the 50 & 100 Freestyle titles at the South West Regional Championships, a remarkable achievement when pitched against a number of very strong competitors. Showing great skills, and not breathing in the last 12m, saw her take the 50m event by 0.19s. Securing the 100m title by a more comfortable margin she returns to training as double Regional Champion. Her efforts did not stop there! 50 Back - 4th 400 Free - 4th 200 IM - 5th 50 Brs - 2nd 200 Free - 2nd 100 Brs -...
Our congratulations go to Sadie who is the Regional Champion for 50,100 & 200 Breaststroke. Winning one title is hard enough but taking all three takes a lot of training and determination. Winning all three titles by clear margins she now sets her sights on the Summer National Championships. Well done Sadie
South West Regional Championships start next weekend. 26 swimmers have qualified for this year's event - this is a record number for the club. You've all worked hard and deserve your place at the championships. A massive thank you should go to all volunteers that work behind the scenes making sure we operate so effectively. Without you, our growth would not have been possible. Missing from the pic - Isla M, Euan M, Felix.

Guildford L3 Open Meet A trip to Guildford to get some much needed race practice before we head to County Championships next weekend. Many of the swimmers were too fast for their main events which challenged them to race some unfamiliar strokes and distances. This did not put them off and WDSC brought home plenty of medals. Well done to all that attended.
WDSC Level 4 Performance Gala We saw some great swims at our recent L4 performance gala, this was licensed so the times can be used for events away from the club. It was especially pleasing to see some many of our swimmers from the training pool taking part - it's a great way to practice those race skills!! Lots of new times & PBs set. We will be running these events in the future but need to look at the format. PCS1 out of 15 Swims, 15 NTs cleared PCS2...
