Well done to all swimmers who took part in last nights 400m Gala. Some tremendous swims considering we have only been back in the pool just over a week! A huge thank you to those of you who volunteered to help out poolside and outside Officials that give up their time to help. These events are not possible without your help so your efforts are greatly appreciated.

  • Fabulous to see 3 DASC swimmers break 5.00 for 400m IM.

It was great to have the DASC president Jane Teague taking the time to help out on poolside with the medal table…

‘It was great to see so many swimmers willing to push themselves through 2 x 400m events in one short session – so character building and so tough for all ages and abilities, and for some it was their first experience of the events. There were some fabulous times and gutsy performances, and that so soon after a 2 week lay-off over Christmas. It was a privilege to be there to watch.’
