May Sprint Gala 1 and 2
Posted by lisa on 05 July
The popular May Sprints galas were back on the Calendar, these are set over two weekends, due to the amount of events and the fast turn round of these events.
The Galas were set up back in 2015, when it was identified that there was a gap in events that Sharks entered. Also there were a set of club records that were no longer swam nor new records set. These records could only be achieved in a 20m pool, so the ideal solution was to hold the gala at our own pool. The gala would also be a way of introducing new Sharks swimmers to competition swimming in a relaxed environment.
It gives swimmers from all squads the opportunity to come together, support each other, as well as forming friendly rivalries.
All swimmers that compete at this gala receives a medal, as recognition of all their hard work.
