On Sunday May 2nd Chalfont Otters swam in an International Friendly Gala vs S G Zaanstad of Holland, at their pool in Zaandam.
Otters swam very well right across the age ranges, and came out winners by 264 points to 180.
The format was to swim 3 from each team in each race, so our 62 swimmers swam at least 4 times each across individual and relay events. Otters swam a total of 75 personal bests. 77% of the swimmers achieved at least one personal best time - while 38% achieved two or more.
Special mentions to Ashley Wilkie who swam PBs in all four of his individual swims, and to Hannah Rome Hall, who broke a 20 year old club record in the 100m Backstroke, in a time of 1:08:31. Congratulations to all those who swam - from 8 year olds to 18 year olds !
Idividual results have been posted in the Members Fixture Results area.
A huge thank you to Chris Huggett and everyone else involved, for the work involved in getting us there, the fun we had while there and safely getting us home via a chocolate factory!
Thank you too to our hosts SG Zaanstad - who overwhelmed us with their hospitality and kindnesses. Sensational Gala, accommodation and party afterwards - a truly wonderful time was had by all. Thank you.
