Crystal Open
09 Jan 2012
27 swimmers attended the Stourbridge Crystal Open Gala. Once again the swimmers proved what an excellent group of swimmers are developing at the club.
In total there were 55 swims that were within the County Quaifying Time.Add to this a total of 75 personal best times for the group as a whole.
This was a final chance to gain qualifying times . Well done to Callum Sanderson 200 backstroke and Makenzie Christys 100 im . Both achieved their first 2012 qualifying times. Drew Jones also finally managed to achieve his 50 backstroke time and great example of never giving up Drew adds this time to a crop of other times that he has achieved.
It was good to see the 9/10 boys and girls showing great potential .The 9 year boys dominating many of the events through Simon Sweatman and Christopher Vizard.

Simon Sweatman 1st 50m Fly,Free and 100im
