The latest Open Meet saw 32 BASC kids travel to take part in the. Bramcote SC Open Meet over 3 sessions – so a very long day rather than a weekend – but we went hoping to build on the 234 medals/trophies we had won so far in 2018 – plus adding to the 107 Staffs County QT the amazing swimmers had already generated.

The event is age at the 25/11/18 – so this weekend the benefit was towards those born January to May – the top 6 in each event were given a medal/trophy – with the age groups being ages 10,11,12,13,14 plus. As kids from around Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire attempt to get county times this was a hotly contested meet – the meet this year was over subscribed before its closing date. 20 of the 32 kids had represented the club in the Staffs League Final the night before – so special thanks go to all parents for dedicating so much of their weekend to swimming!!!!
