Firstly from everyone on the Committee here at Wigan SC we would like to congratulate all of the swimmers who took part in a fantastic Club Champs today!

All the swimmers were fantastic today behaving amazingly and swimming unbelievably well!

Today was great for many reasons. We had swimmers competing for the first time rubbing shoulders with some of our senior swimmers who are in final preparations for this years National Championships and this will help our younger swimmers to see exactly what is needed moving forward.

We had a great afternoon’s racing!!!

We started the day off with the 50m Freestyle adults race!

What can I say we saw it all!

We had a couple of sub 30 second swims from Adam and Scott, everyone was under 60 seconds which is a vast improvement on last year and of course we cant forget Head Coach Andy swimming the entire event dressed as a WASP. Congratulations to everyone who took part!

A massive well done to everyone who took part in the energy sapping SKINS event!

It certainly lived up to the billing of being a brilliant event.

Its still hard to believe that in the Open/Male category we had a tie in the final and the swimmers went again with just 1 tenth of a second splitting them in the second final.

Well done to our Top 3 in the SKINS events in both the Open/Male and Female categories who will all pick up cash prizes at the Presentation evening.

Open/Male top 3

  1. Noah Grace
  2. Luke Tonge
  3. Oliver Brooks

Female Top 3

  1. Isla Liptrot
  2. Olivia Knox
  3. Camilla Holland
Before today we only had 10 original records remaining from 2010 and after today we are down to 8 with Evie Cutter breaking two of those records.
In total there were 11 existing records broken and 2 new records created because swims have never taken place in that event and age group before.
The following swimmers are records breakers today:

Below you will find 11 attachments these are the results from each event today. As previously mentioned if a swimmer finishes in the Top 3 of an event in their age group they will receive a medal for this at the presentation evening.
As a reminder all swimmers who took part today will receive a medal for taking part in the Club Championship today again this will be hand out at the Presentation Evening with more details to follow on that very soon.
Finally can we take this opportunity to thank all parents and guardians for coming and supporting today, as well as that a massive thank you goes to all our volunteers without whom events like today would not be possible.
We hope you had a great day!!!!!
