National Inter County Team Championships 2024

The Devon County Swim Team made the long journey up to Ponds Forge, in Sheffield to compete at the National County Team Champions.  The selected team of 26 swimmers came from 7 clubs across the county.

On arriving at the pool, the atmosphere was electric – with lots of cheering, horns, etc – the noise became louder and louder with great cheering and support from all our swimmers for their teammates.  The racing was preceded by a parade of the different counties in fancy dress.

Our 2 captains – Lacey & Matthew – paraded our flag along the poolside accompanied by cheering from our team in the stands opposite.

The racing started and our 2 captains led from the front by competing in the first two events and both achieving personal best times.  This set the tone for the whole of the gala – many personal best times were set by the swimmers – in total 25 personal best times were set. They also achieved three first places.

Well done to the whole team for their achievements and the great camerardie between all the swimmers and thanks to Glenn, Lynn, Louis and Harry for their work with the team.
