Blog 1148: DX Open

This weekend we had the DX open alongside the Leicester League (see previous blog). Many Long Eaton swimmers were there representing both Derventio Excel and Long Eaton and in a high class field these swimmers stood out and performed exceptionally well, with many gaining more regional times and national times, including Hannah Cox who trains at Long Eaton, who got her Senior National time in the 50m Breaststroke. Once again the skill level of Long Eaton swimmers was extremely high especially in the underwater phase and final 5 meters of races.

Firstly a big thank you to all the parents for battling through appalling driving conditions to get the swimmers to the gala.

Once again I was very pleased with the determination shown by all swimmers as they strived to gain valuable points for the team. This was particularly evident in the last five metres of races, where many swimmers produced a storming finish often pulling back at least one place.

The gala gave an opportunity for swimmers to race in events they would not normally expect to swim in. Also a number of the younger swimmers were representing the club for the first time. You all were a credit to the club, and should gain a lot of confidence from the fact that you swam well in a big gala against strong opposition.

I was very pleased with the final result and left the gala a proud coach.
