Barrow Amateur Swimming Club

PRESS RELEASE FEB 2008

Congratulations to Barrow’s Diddy League team who won the South Lakes Diddy League Friendly at Kendal on Saturday 23^rd February.

The Diddy League provides swimmers between the ages of 9 to 11 an opportunity to swim competitively against other clubs. The events are based on various relays, 4x25 metres and individual 50 metre events across all strokes.

Barrow’s team kicked off the event with a rousing rendition of the club’s chant. As the events got underway, Carnforth took an early lead, closely followed by Barrow and Kendal. The Barrow team, captained by Jamie Briggs and Clara Minnican, fought hard and had a run of first places. This pegged the overall team totals even closer, with Barrow edging ahead. There were some extremely close finishes with just fractions of a second parting the teams. After 44 events, Barrow sealed the victory with Carnforth second and Kendal third.

Well done to all the swimmers, coaches, helpers and supporters from all the clubs, making this event so enjoyable.
