At the end of last week, our team travelled to Aberdeen to compete in the Finals!

The competition kicked off with the relay events, where we had three WD teams racing, alongside Club Captains Ella and Luke representing Argyll & Bute. It was a fantastic evening full of team spirit, great performances, and fast racing.

Friday brought the individual events. In the morning, our 12 & Under swimmers, Summer and Bella, showcased their talents in the 50m events. Bella progressed to the 50m Butterfly Final, where she finished in an impressive 4th place 👏

Later in the day, more of the team joined the action and produced some excellent swims, with several athletes achieving new personal bests. A special mention goes to Lia, who secured a bronze medal in the 200m Backstroke 🥉
