City of Glasgow Swim Team

Mini league final news ......

Team Spirit!

Wow!  What a final it was!  The excitement started building at the Thursday training evening.  The team had got together and had an excellent night of sprints and relays with a massive doze of fun!  Their enthusiasm swelled on the bus to Ayr and they managed to stand still just long enough for some brilliant team photos!

As the children got ready the stands started to fill.  By the start of the racing it was standing room only.  The audience were fantastic, and greeted the swimmers with a wall of sound from the first blast of the starter’s horn.  By the end of the event it looked like everyone was on their feet!

Glasgow got off to an amazing start winning the opening relays and getting an early lead.  North Ayrshire fought back and as the children swam the last few races there was only 5 points between them!  North Ayrshire just clinched the title but the Glasgow swimmers were absolutely brilliant.  Every child swam at their best, giving everything for their team.  The support for each other was fantastic and the children fought for every point.

The children then took over McDonalds on the way home and celebrated an excellent team performance.  The atmosphere on the bus on the way home was fantastic and the children had a ball! 

Every child who swam for the team, in the lead up to, and at the final, should be very proud of their achievements - well done!
