Thanet Swim Club

The club hosted the hugely popular Margate Open on Sunday

With over 270 swimmers, it was very busy both on poolside and on the balcony.

Despite the biggest attendance ever, the gala went to plan and was swum in a friendly atmosphere. A huge thanks goes to all the volunteers and helpers, especially Lindsay Panteli for her organisation on the day.

We were even able to enjoy some sun and a BBQ!

Well done to all the swimmers, there were a lot of pb’s. Results can be found on the “results” link below

We look forward to welcoming everyone to our Margate Open Sprints Gala. Live results will be available at http://results.thanetsc.co.uk/2016MO/index.htm

The club have been competing at the South East Regionals over the past month. With our largest number of swimmers, we were well represented in both the 15/over and 14/under championships.
