TYNEMOUTH ASC swimmers were back in racing action with the first round of the Arena Junior League, which was also combined with our first Level X virtual gala.

Almost 60 swimmers from our Junior Performance and Skills Development squads, plus selected swimmers from other squads and groups based on age, descended on Tynemouth Pool on Saturday, May 15th ready from some competitive racing.

And there were some fantastic times recorded by the youngsters, who clearly enjoyed getting the chance to put some times on the board; the results can be seen below. As well as giving the swimmers a taste of competitive action, it helps set some benchmarks to measure against future improvement, and hopefully provides some much-needed motivation following a difficult period without any competitive galas to work towards.

The club wishes to thank all those volunteers who worked hard before and during the event to make sure it could be run successfully in a covid-secure manner. We are already looking forward to our next event, which will be a Level X virtual gala on Saturday, June 12th, 4.30pm-7pm, for our Performance A, Performance B and Youth Potential swimmers.
