Another great afternoon at Peebles, though this time we returned without a trophy but with heaps of medals. Unfortunately we were missing a boy and then poor Sam was very unwell and had to go home so we were two down. Special thanks go to Liall who turned up to help the team by swimming in the 10 yrs age group despite being only 9 and then he didn’t get his gold in the team relay as we were mistakenly recorded as having an incomplete team.
 We did win lots of individual medals, with the girls leading the way. Emma C and Ellie each won two golds, Emma H won a gold and a silver, Anna C won two silvers, Ciara won a silver and a bronze, Lewis won a silver with Eilidh, Ben and Ryan all winning a bronze each.
 The relays were difficult due to the missing swimmers but the 9 and under team (Eilidh, Emma H, Ben and Lewis) won gold and bronze in their events and the 10 yrs team mysteriously were awarded bronze in the medley. Sadly, due to an error on the start sheet our team relay squad (Emma H, Ben, Ellie, Liall, Emma C + Ryan) missed out on the medals despite being the fastest team.
 Thanks go to our team of coaches and supporters who squashed into a very small space and cheered every swimmer and relay team.
