Sheffield City Glyn Mettam B Grade

20 Borough of Barnsley swimmers took part in Sheffield City's Glyn Mettam Memorial B grade meet at Ponds forge at the weekend. The swim season is in full swing with many swimmers focussing on achieving entry times for the Yorkshire Championships in February as well as personal bests (55 PBs achieved out of 105 races). 

 

Club Press Officer Adrian Wightman said "The atmosphere amongst the swimmers was fantastic with everyone supporting and cheering each other on, celebrating in success and picking each other up when things didn't go so well. It was great to see Oliver Austin (9) competing in his first gala and a special mention to Amy and Sam Guettat who recorded personal best times in every race they took part in"

 

Oliver Austin said "It was nerve wracking on the [starting] blocks, cold in the water but relief at the wall"

 

Next weekend sees the club competing at City of Sheffield's "Snow Thrills" meet
