Exeter Open (Cardiff) Report

Posted January 24, 2012

A relatively small band of swimmers (15) made their way to the Cardiff International Pool for a gala on the 21/22nd Jan. It is a wonderful 10 lane, 50m pool with plenty of space. It was a Level 1 meet catering for the strongest swimmers. There were many top clubs competing from across the region and some from outside. It was the first time that the Club had attended a long course meet outside of Regional Championships fora long while. Entry was difficult with a number of swimmers being rejected due to the over demand.

Our swimmers swam extremely well throughout with almost all the swims bringing personal bests. Medal places were always going to be hard to come by but we had a number of successes.

Maria Jones (12) 400IM Silver
Georgina Lloyd (10) 50 Free Silver
Georgina Lloyd (10) 100 Free Bronze
Henry Bennett (11) 50 Free Bronze
Aidan Loughnane (11) 50 Breast Bronze
Jon Lowther (12) 50 Back Bronze
Rebecca Lowther (9) 200 & 50 Back Silver
Rebecca Lowther (9) 200IM  Bronze
Rebecca Lowther (9) 200 & 50 Breast Bronze
Rebecca Lowther (9) 400IM Silver

Although not gaining medals there were numerous great swims and a number of Club records set. Including a number of Club open records broken.

Here are the individual results for our swimmers and the full results are here.

Thanks to everyone who helped out on the very long days!
