Sutton shine in county relays

It also allows club to field swimmers that did not have individual county times in the relay teams to get a taster for what the championships are about and trys to spur them on over the coming months so as to be able to compete individually next time around.

SSC tried to maximise the number of swimmers taking part by, where possible, fielding two teams for each age category while trying to maintain the competitiveness of each team.

The events on the day were Mixed 4x50m Medley relays, Girls 4x50m Freestyle, Boys 4x50m Freestyle, Girls 4x50m Medley & Boys 4x50m Medley.

Head coach Simon Hill said: “County relays never disappoints, nor did our swimmers or the blue army.

"I was asked in the morning, how many podium finishes we would make, they wanted eight, I said we should push for 10 and we did it.

“The bigger achievement for me is the team spirit and togetherness that was shown throughout the day.

“We saw so many personal bests that were so much better than swims only a few weeks before and I’m sure that’s because they were swimming for each other.

“The afternoons final session was a testament to the strength of the clubs’ swimmers, with 16 teams in the 16 finals.

“Blue army - you were amazing.

"It’s inspiring for us all poolside when we look up and see that wall of blue and hear your encouragement."

The results came thick and fast and, while SSC were unlucky in some races not to secure top spot, there were a lot of medals taken home by the SSC swimmers.
