We had almost 40 swimmers competing in this year’s schools championships and several others who could have been competing were either injured or swam in other areas. From that excellent entry we won a total of 26 individual medals and 20 medals in the relays (mostly for Portobello High who won medals in 4 different events).
Gavin and Raquel led the way, each winning both of their events. Rory W and James both won a gold and a bronze and Zoe, Ellie and Katie all went home with a gold medal. JJ and Rory M picked up two silvers, Jenny and John both won a silver and a bronze and Nicole, Chris, Sam and Rory G all won a silver. Ryan, Kate, Nieve and Robyn all collected a bronze medal. Finally, Emma C and Will both competed in the East Lothian Schools event and Emma in particular had a very good day.
Well done to everyone who competed and we now wait to discover which swimmers have qualified for the Scottish finals in Glasgow in Jan. To be eligible, you must finish in the top 3 in your area (Edinburgh for most of us) and then be in the top 20 from all entries across Scotland.
