OVER 80 swimmers took part in a gala between the Splash swimming club and Milestone swimming club.

The gala, held at Malvern Splash, was organised by Joanne Edmunds, Sheila Jones and Sarah Guest.

Sarah and Jo, who both teach at the Splash, as well as running swimming clubs, thoroughly enjoyed the evening, as did the swimmers.

The team spirit and support for the swimmers was brilliant and the instructors would like to thank all parents who helped with time- keeping, organising swimmers and for being such an enthusiastic crowd.

Some of the swimmers, the youngest of whom were six, have only been members for a short time, but anyone who wanted to participate was given the opportunity.

The evening was not about winning or losing, it was about taking part and having fun, although some swimmers smashed their personal best times in the races which were held in age groups.

Splash swimming club meets Sunday evenings from 7pm, all year. Contact (01684) 893423.
