WITH the start of The National Speedo Swimming League season, Tavistock Swimming Club travelled north to face Paignton, Torquay Leander, Sid and Otter Vale and hosts Ilfracombe. The 33 metre length of the pool proved a disadvantage to some of Tavistock?s younger swimmers, more used to competing in a 25 metre pool and in 50 metre events. First places were gained by Laura Radgick in the ladies? open freestyle and by Tom Waddington, currently in fine form, in both the boys 15/U freestyle and 15/U breaststroke. The club congratulated Francesca White on her efforts as she swam for the club for the first time. The team finished in fifth place. Taking part were Kirsty Best, Michael Best, Holly Brimble, Jason Butler, Sam Campbell, Will Carter, Lea Cawton, Caitlin Chapman, Kris Chapman, Tom Crocker, Matt Edwards, Chloe Greep, Hannah Greep, Natalie Greep, Harry Thompson, Cameron McGurk, Laura Radgick, Chris Ralph, Kieron Rookes, Kirsty Smith, Josh Stephens, Katie Stephens, Alexandra Stoecker, Rebecca Tansey, Harry Thompson, Ella Waddington, Tom Waddington, Amy Warnett and Francesca White. l If you are interested in joining the club, please contact Sheila Radgick on 01822 618272.
