Great to see the collaboration and friendship between clubs across the Lothians. Well done to everyone taking part.

Lothian Racers Mini Gala

Last Thursday a team of 10 swimmers from Bronze squad got the opportunity to race at Royal Commonwealth Pool, Edinburgh at the Lothian Racers Mini Gala.

On the night it was not about winning or losing, instead it was about participation and support with all members coming away having a fun experience, lots of learning and a participation medal each.

It’s great to see our Musselburgh Members showing support to our friends at the Lothian Racers. I look forward to continue this long term partnership between the two clubs.

Thanks to for hosting this mini gala and for for making the night an enjoyable experience!

Check out this Wheels to water event from Scottish Disability Sport on Saturday 13th June at Castle Semple, Lochwinnoch. It might be a bit of a trek from the Lothians, but there are lots of activities on offer for a fun day out.

Haven't our swimmers been busy this week? Great to see lots of Lothians club swimmers out at events, making new friends, gaining PBs and taking home medals.
