We needed superb performances in the last day of the County Championships in our quest of defending the title of the Best Swimming Club in Lincolnshire. Still some of our top swimmers could not swim due to illness.
Alisha Tyers is a leading swimmer in the Senior+ squad. Last year Alisha just narrowly missed qualifying for Nationals. She is a dominant swimmer in the club championships
In the first event - 200 free - swimmers could demonstrate how much their fitness had improved since they swam it last time. Joshua Clarke improved by an astonishing 13 seconds – just outside the club record with the second fastest time achieved this year in our County.

Congratulations to all the medalists! After the second weekend of 2018 Counties swimmers won 41 gold medals, 45 silver and 45 bronze. The top three leading swimmers are Iona Colbert, Evie Turner and Molly Colbert.
Can Grantham do it again? Surely swimmers made a strong statement this weekend. We showed determination, motivation and ability to give everything, which is what was needed to build such a lead.
It was a tough gala as a big number of swimmers either were ill or were recovering from being ill.
Molly Colbert set a great example to the rest of the team mates and showed resiliance and maturity. Our club captain won with a stunning time in 200 free and 400 free and came second in 200 breastroke.
Hayley Milne surely showed how to handle the pressure. After a great swim in 100 butterfly Hayley not only set a new British record but also bettered the old one by stunning 4 seconds!

Hayley Milne is the only swimmer in the club's history to break a British record. In 2014 Hayley set a new British record in 200 breastroke.
Joshua Clarke was one of the brightest swimmers of the day. Joshua, only 9 years old, showed no fear and raced strong all the way achieved new club records in splits in 400m and 800m free. His time in 1500m is also a new club record and third fastest achieved in Britain in his age group.
It was the last meet for swimmers to qualify for the 2018 County Championships. Ava Reed was the last swimmer from Grantham to qualify for Counties making our total number of qualified swimmers of 56, exceeding our target by 1 swimmer.
It was another successful day of our club champs. Big congratulations to Emily Parkins and Thomas Perks for qualifying for the first time ever for the county championships!

"Hi Zoe I just wanted to pass my own personal thanks to you and the team for running such a professional gala. It is amazing to see how smoothly all events run at Grantham and I know this is down to you and team. It really does make coming over so enjoyable because everything has been accounted for. I am sure people are quick to moan and criticise but from me a massive thank you. Will"
The first Club Champs was our first major gala to showcase the benefits of the new season of training.
