Well done to the swimmers in the second round of the Nuneaton and District Junior League

Not a particurlarly good turn out for the second round of the Nuneaton and District Junior League (affectionately known as the Diddy league) – We had several first timers at galas for this round, which made for an interesting night.  With several swimmers taking part in their first full gala, experience was an important part of the night. Sixteen personal bests were achieved on the night out of thirty two individual races, so not all was bad on the night. Special mention to Hashim Nawaz and James Lawrence who both stepped in at the last minute to swim as 9 year old boys.
