Over
a hundred swimmers from Cleethorpes & District Swimming Club took part in
their Annual Minnows & Sprints Competition on Saturday 24th November
at Scartho Baths.
For some of the younger swimmers this was daunting experience as it was their first taste of swimming in a gala. Once the nerves were put aside, the swimmers produced some excellent swims. The young Minnows swimmers saw what they could aspire to watching the older more experienced club members, while the older swimmers were able to cheer on and encourage the young Minnows. This proved for an excellent atmosphere on poolside.
