Last year Kings Lynn Warriors and Downham & District Swimming Clubs merged to set up the new West Norfolk Swimming Club. On Sunday they held their first Spring Open Meet and a team of twenty five Deepings swimmer aged between 8 and 15 year olds attended. What a fantastic day it was for Deepings swimmers, this 'open' meet gave our youngsters the chance to support and encourage one another, which paid dividends as the team finished second to Dereham Swimming Club for the Top Visiting Club Award.
There were a large number of personal best times produced by the team and our swimmers collected a huge number of the trophies on the day. Swimmers achieved a total of 8 first places, 15 second places, 10 third places, 5 fourth places, 3 fifth places & 12 sixth place awards. They also produced 57 Personal Best Times & Eight year old Niamh Brown set a New Club Record in the 100m IM what a star! – Congratulations!
Nine year old Niamh Warrington had a brilliant day, she took victory in three strokes the 50m Freestyle, Backstroke & Breaststroke and secured second place in the 100m IM & 50m Fly. She scored an impressive 28 points on the day and just missed the Top Girls Award by just one point. First places also came from Shelby Culff (12 yrs) 50m Freestyle & Butterfly, Bailie Harrison (9 yrs) butterfly, Bethany Neal (12 yrs) in the 100m IM and 50m Breaststroke. Shelby and Bethany picked up 26 points during the day which meant they finished joint forth in the top girls award an outstanding achievement.
It needs to be mentioned just how well Jack Booth and Kelda McKnight did on the day too. Both swimmers picked up five awards and 10 year old Jack was our highest place boy swimmer, he finishing joint 17th with 18 points – well done!
