On Saturday I took part in the Annual NASCH Swimming Championships Gala.
 |
Before I travelled to the swimming gala, I took part in the kids run free monthly event. But I only ran a mile, so I didn't get too tired. |
 |
Here's the programme for my gala, taking place in Leamington Spa at the Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre. The junior event is first and then the senior event, which I stayed to watch and support the rest of my team. |
 |
There are teams from all over the country. I swim for Bedworth, and we join Leamington to make up region 8. |
 |
Here is my first event, 100 metre freestyle. Everybody else in my race was quite a bit bigger and older than me, as I am competing in the under 16 category. Before the gala each swimmer submits the time in which they expect to swim the event. These are then used to establish the starting time of each swimmer. This system is used so everybody can compete on equal terms and all finish the race together.I swam so fast I won the race! But I beat my entry time massively (will update with exact time when I receive it) . You are only allowed to swim 10% quicker than your submitted time, so therefore I was re positioned in the results. But my swimming coach is really happy with me because I smashed my PB, and I am going to be awarded a special certificate. |
 |
My next event the relay. |
 |
Guess what?...we won! With my team mates, brother and sister. Aidan and Phoebe. |
 |
We each received a medal and we get to keep this trophy for a year. |
 |
My gold medal. |

Here is the write up from my clubs social media page. |
We finished a great day by watching some fireworks, as it is the 5th November, Guy Fawkes night.
 |
Can you see the massive bonfire at Bedworth Miners Park? There was a big Guy Fawkes on top that has almost totally burnt now. |
