On Sunday 20th May 2018 Thame Swimming Club held its first ever Junior Development Meet.
The meet had 126 young swimmers aged between 8 – 12 years old, from 5 clubs - Thame, Witney, Bicester, Newport Pagnell and Didcot. There were 5 events, the 50m freestyle, 50m Backstroke, 50m Breaststroke, 50m Butterfly and the 100m Individual Medley, accumulating in nearly 500 individual entries.
The meet was designed to give the younger swimmers a chance to compete against swimmers from other clubs and give them valuable experience for the future. There were many impressive swims with nearly all the swimmers achieving a least one (if not several) personal best times.
Thame Swimming Club would like to thank all those who made this event possible including all the Volunteers\Officials who gave up their valuable time, Thame Leisure Centre for hosting the event and Sundance Pools the Club’s sponsor.
Thame Swimming Club said “We are already looking forward to planning our next event.”
