Our annual 1500m event was held on Saturday with over 30 swimmers competing for the Ned Barnie trophy. It is run as a handicapped event, so each swimmer is trying to beat their estimated time and the winner is the person who does so by the biggest margin.
In terms of actual times swum, the three fastest boys were Gavin, Andrew and James whilst the three quickest girls were Raquel, Kate and Fi. However, the prizes are for beating the handicapper’s estimates and the winner was Rosanna with Jade and Zoe tied in equal second. There were several other excellent swims, including Nieve, Laura (last year’s winner), JJ, Kathryn, Emma C and Emma H who broke the 30 min mark aged only 9. Our newest member Morgan was the youngest finisher and three of our other youngsters ( Anna, Stuart and Roy) all completed an 800m swim.
