Blog 2765: Leicester League round up

Last weekend saw a great start to the Leicester League competition with Long Eaton finishing in second place behind Rugby. Notching up several winners in multiple age groups gave Long Eaton a strong platform to build on, and the more the gala went on, the more it became about who was finishing in the other placings in each race, and this is where Rugby eventually came out winners. At Long Eaton, we use the Leicester league as competitive experience for swimmers who don't usually enter galas, or who may not have necessarily had a team place in the Arena League competition. It's a credit to those swimmers on Saturday that displayed a huge amount of team spirit, skill, and competitiveness that gives Long Eaton a strong core of swimmers to build on.
