Silver Pin Award to Diss Otter Member

Longstanding Diss Otters member Adam Lelean has been awarded the East of England ASA Silver Pin for his services to swimming.

Adam has been a member of the Diss club since 1988 when it was known as Waveney Otters.

He has held many positions with the Diss club including Chairman for two years and is also heavily involved with the sports administration at Norfolk County Level, including the organisation together with his wife Sally of the Norfolk Masters Gala.

As well as being a qualified referee - officiating at many local galas in Norfolk, Adam still competes at Master events across the country and occasionally overseas. He has a great passion for distance open water swimming and has got many of the junior members of the club to take part in local open water events.

Adam still coaches voluntarily at Diss with the younger swimmers benefitting from his huge experience and also the masters section who swim three times a week.

Adam underwent open heart surgery earlier this year and it is testament to his fitness and determination that he was back at the pool weeks ahead of schedule and is now back in the water doing what he loves best.

Diss Otters Open Gala Report 2018

Diss Otters held their annual Open Gala at the UEA Sportspark pool on Sunday and the event was a great success for the club and it's swimmers.

The organisers were swamped with entries this year and there was a packed programme of events to keep everyone busy throughout the day.

Visiting clubs included City of Cambridge, West Norfolk, Thetford Dolphins, Great Yarmouth and Huntingdon Piranhas.

The spectator gallery was at capacity and they witnessed some great racing in both the morning and afternoon sessions.

The Diss Otters team were out in force with 47 swimmers taking part in a total of 292 individual swims which resulted in 101 top 6 finishes. Out of those 101 the swimmers bagged 8 gold medals, 28 silvers and 19 bronzes.

Full results are available here

Medal winners on the day were Noah Blair, Oslo Chapman, Daniel Bachu, Matthew Munnings, Max Ashken, Matthew Tatum, Jude Ashken, Ella Townsend, Grace Cook, Evie Kemp, Rosie Munnings, Thea Irvine, Lottie Gates and Shannon Evans.

The team also achieved numerous qualifying times for January's County Championships which the coaching team look to as one of the swimmers main targets.

The club are looking to increase the number of galas that they stage in the coming year so that they can give swimmers more opportunities to swim competitively, as local galas put on by other clubs are usually over subscribed.
