Diss Otters took a very excited squad of 11 swimmers to the Team Waveney Development Meet 30th April 2022.
Being a development gala, this event is aimed at the less experienced swimmers within our junior squads and is the perfect platform for them to practice their racing strategies and gain times away from the bigger Open Galas, which in the future they may wish to progress to. Races took place over all strokes at 50Ms.
Our squad consisted of 11 swimmers aged between 8-15, competing in 52 individual swims. They achieved 17 top 8 places, 5 medals and 32 PBs. Our squad members were Amelia Bailey, Ethan bailey, Millie Clifford, Ashleigh Fall, Liz Ferrier, Nia Jones, Seren Jones, Roman Joseph, Daisy Lewis and Hollie Richards.
Roman Joseph dropped over 10 seconds on his 50M Breaststroke to finish well inside the top 8. Daisy Lewis dropped over 3.5 seconds on her 50M Breaststroke and Hollie Richards dropped over 5 seconds on her 50M Freestyle to finish in the top 8.
