LAUNCESTON Swimming Club recently held its 2015 club championship evening at Trethorne.

The evening started with a buffet followed by a great speech by Helen Cowling.

A big thank you was given to from the club to express their gratitude to ‘Jo Downs Handmade Glass’ for her generous Sponsorship which is helping the club work towards swim 21 accreditation.

Then followed what all the young swimmers had been waiting for — the results of the club championship events which took place over three evenings in June.

Individually the results for each swimmer were read out and their medals presented to them by Head Coach John Rhodes.

In total, Launceston swimmers achieved 253 personal best times during the club championships and 14 new championship records were gained.

The evening was also an opportunity to recognise individual swimmers who have either excelled at a particular event or a range of events and to recognise the hard work dedication and support of the swimmers. These swimmers were individuall presented with a cup or shield.

Julie Barriball said: “Well done to all of the committee, coaches, swimmers and parents who make Launceston Swimming Club one of the best.”
