GREAT RESULTS – Well done to all those swimmers who have taken part
in the Novice League in 2009.
TEAM POSITION: 2nd place
On Saturday 7th November the Ringwood Seals headed back to Totton for the final round of this years Novice League, this time hosted by Seagulls Swimming Club.
There were many excellent swims. For some of the swimmers this was
their first gala. This is a nerve wracking experience but they performed
excellently – well done to them.
There were some fabulous team efforts in the relay races producing
excellent results giving many 1st, 2nd and 3rd placings.
Individual races were once again well swum with a high number of 1st, 2nd, 3rd placings, many personal bests and a number of speeding tickets.
