Some brilliant swimming from #TeamBackwell at Round 2 of the Arena League in Plymouth on Nov 10th. After a long journey down the M5 and A38 the team arrived raring to go and put all the hard effort during training to work. We were up against stiff competition from Torfaen Dolphins, West Dorset, Tornadoes of South Dorset, Paignton, Carn Brea and AST Burnham. Over the course of 2 hours, our swimmers battled for every point and, at the final reckoning #TeamBackwell finished in a very respectable 4th place overall. This is a performance to be proud of as, compared with those clubs with whom we are competing, we are a very small club and in our first season in Division 1 of the Arena League.
Huge thanks to all the volunteers and officials that ensured the smooth running of the gala and ensured we are able to comply with the league's rules (supplying 3 fully qualified officials for each gala round requires a committed and dedicated group of parent volunteers..... and we're lucky to have them at Backwell)
Full results and times can be found below. An amazing 13 PBs were set including 4 new club records:
2 for Phil D in 25+ 100m Breast and 200m IM
1 for James P in 25+ 100m Fly
1 for Molly J in 14 100m Breast
