We are running a swimming competition which is open to all of the swimmers in our lessons groups (Saturday mornings – 08.15 and 08.45 groups). The competition will be on Saturday 5th April, 08.00-09.30 in place of our normal lessons.
This will be a great opportunity for our younger swimmers to experience racing at Medina swimming pool, with a Medal for everyone that competes and a chance to win prizes on a ‘chuck a duck’ competition.
All funds raised through the event will go towards supporting our swimmers to attend the 2025 Orkney Island Games.
