On the weekend of 27th and 28th November, Walsall swimmers braved through the snowy blizzard and sub 0 degree temperatures to get to Wolverhampton Central Baths in Wolverhampton to compete at the Wolverhampton SC Winter Open Meet. They all swam brilliantly, gaining 59 medals for our club. This consisted of 26 golds, 21 silvers and 12 bronzes. This was our best medal haul in open meets this year!
Special mentions go to Chloe Barnard who got her first top girl prize in the 9 years age category, a gold and 4 silvers, Layla Garbett who won top girl in the 10 years age category, 5 golds and 4 silvers, Tiffany Latham who achieved top girl in the 12 years age category, 10 gold, 3 silvers and 1 bronze, Ewen Slater who gained 3 golds, Oliver Gunther who won 2 golds and 5 bronzes, Charlie Owen who achieved 2 golds and 1 bronze, Abigail Woolley who got 1 gold and 1 silver, Toby Smith who gained 1 gold and 1 bronze and Constance Holmes-Jude who achieved 5 silvers and 2 bronzes.
Everyone did amazingly and the atmosphere of everyone cheering each other on helped us achieve better times in the races. Everyone wore the Walsall SC badge with pride and we represented our club brilliantly. There were loads of PBs and County times. The hard training is really paying off!
