Congratulations to all who swam in Saturday’s gala at Solihull

A big hearty cheer goes to all our valiant swimmers who swam in Saturday’s Friendly Diddy gala at Solihull.

Although small in numbers, the enthusiasm was amazing.

All swimmers on the night did well, and cheered and encouraged their friends to do well too.

9/under girls were Becky Gulliver (who came 2nd in the 25m Fly and 25m Breast, and third in the 10/under 50m back), Catrice Hart (who came 2nd in the 25m free) and Trearna Hart (who came 2nd in 25m back) – Catrice and Trearna are two out of three triplets ๐Ÿ™‚ and Daani and Kieran Dhillon, who swam very well in their first gala for the club. Danni and Kieran are identical twins ๐Ÿ™‚

9/ under boys on the night were Vinaye Gaddu (who came 2nd in the 25m Breast, and 4th in the 10/under one length Butterfly), Ellison Hart – the third triplet ๐Ÿ™‚ (who came 4th in the 12/under 50m back (!), and 1st in the 25m back in his own age group), Alfie Williams (who came 5th in both the 11/under back and the 10/under back), Harvey Higgins (who came 1st in the 25m Fly) and Lewis Carless (who came 1st in the 25m Free, and swam a big PB to come 5th in the 11/under 50m free).

Also swimming on the night were Emma Sarling (50m free and 50m Back), Mohammed Ishmael (50m Free in the 10/under and 12/ under), Jessica Deans (50m Back and 50m Breast), Sophia Deans (50m Breast and 25m Fly), Jack Skett (50m Breast for the 10/under and the 11/under), Vicky Cox (50m Fly), Olegs Kuznecovs (50m Fly and 50m Breast, Cody Robins (50m Free), Hannah Lawrence (50m Breast) and Raenne Davison (50m Free for the 11/unders).

A massive well done to all the swimmers for their enthusiasm, and their willingness to swim multiple times on the night in the relays.

New Diddy Coach Katalina was there on the night to see the swimmers in action, and will be starting to work with the swimmers on Monday the 24th February, her first session in charge of the group.

The future is bright with all of these lovely swimmers and their great new coach Katalina.
