After what seems like quite a long time without attending a competitive event, we took a team of 7 swimmers to the North West Regional Special Olympics Gala in Blackpool and, with everyone managing at least one medal on the podium it was a very successful day. Daniel Jackson managed to smash his previous best time in the 25m freestyle which earned him a special award of a Speeding Ticket (for swimming more than 15% faster than his entry time). All our swimmers showed their usual wonderful team spirit on poolside and , as ever, we were extremely proud of them all. (We also felt we held onto our title of “most vocal cheering” from the supporter section).
