2nd Top Club

13 Gold, 11 Silver, 16 Bronze & 21 Top 8

24 Swimmers, 84 Races, 79 Personal Bests

At the start, if we were told that we were going to finish 2nd on the night we would of taken it. We still finished 1st in more races than any other club. The team spirit was excellent, our PB rate good and we beat two local teams above us in the National league.

2007 we finished 17th, last year we could not field a team, this year (2009) fingers crossed, we've moved inside top 10 in the South West. League table to be confirmed.

Congratulations to the whole team (Swimmers/Coaches/Team Managers/Judges/Timekeepers/Parents), a very successful league campaign. We look forward to 2010.

A fair result. The three winning teams from Gala 1 in April finished 1st-3rd. However, a fantastic display by our swimmers saw us finish just 9 points short of Chard (National League Premier Division Club). We managed to record 3 first place finishes (Georgia / Danny Pirret & Evie Reed) and clock 36 race times faster than those achieved in Round 1.

The result was much better than we'd originally expected - we look forward to round 3, the final (Expect 'fastest first' selection policy for every event)

In a gala dominated by the 2008 League Champions - Bournemouth Dolphins, Soundwell Swimming Club sealed an important 2nd place finish against strong opposition. The team arrived early, participated in group mobility and held a pre race prep talk for the first time. Throughout the evening several PB's were clocked and three 1st place finishes were recorded (Danny Pirret, Evie Reed & Will Cole). However, our consistent 2nd/3rd place finishes scored valuable points and gave us a well deserved 2nd overall.

Congratulations to the whole squad.

NB - All swimmers are requested to remain pool deck until the galas conclusion and final results have been announced.

9 Swimmers qualified this year, more than many Gloucester County based clubs. George Ashton and Bronwen Choules gained valuable long course experience and matched their short course entry times. Will Harrison and Luke Height took home small converted PB's and ranked well. Jake Bayly qualified for several events and hit large PB's over both weekends. Georgia Pirret, despite ranking 35th in the 100 backstroke pulled off the largest PB (9 secs) and finished 9th, just missing out on her first final.

Will Cole managed 5 finals, taking three 4th's and two 6th's. Enough to earn him 8th place overall in the 10yrs age category. Danny Pirret took a BRONZE in the 400 freestyle along with two 5th's and an 8th. Evie Reed made two finals, finishing 6th and 7th.

An excellent display by the whole team, congratulations to all the swimmers and coaches involved.
