Trophy Gala 9, 11/u, 13/u, Open - January 22nd, Sharley Park

Result
Derby Phoenix "A" 218

Rykneld "A"

183
Derby Phoenix "B" 127
Leicester Belgrave 90
Rykneld "B" 87
An excellent result with swimmers achieving 35 personal best times. I was very pleased with our young and new swimmers. In the 9 years and 11 years age groups there were 16 races and we won 9 races, in 2 we came second against Deventio eXcel swimmers, who will be covering 3 to 4 times the training metres of our young swimmers. The swimmers have got the rewards of their hard work. Also I must thank all of our poolside teachers and coaches, a great team effort.

Rykneld Masters Open Meet 2005 - 5th February

This event was a great success - results are available for download from the "Masters" page. Thank you to all swimmers, clubs and officials who supported our Meet

The Derbyshire ASA County Youth & Age Group Championships - February/March 2005

The Derbyshire ASA County Youth & Age Group Championships were held between 26th of February and the 13th of March. Having 16 galas in 6 days makes this competition an endurance event for swimmers, coaches, officials and parents. The full results can be viewed on the Derbyshire ASA website.
RESULTS 2005 2004

We also had excellent results in the relay events with 3 bronze medals, 2 fourth places, 2 fifths and 2 sixth places.

As the results show, this was a tremendous effort and quite a big improvement from last year. The number of swimmers is constant with the number of swims going up. This may reflect the fact that more swimmers are entering the range of events needed to do well in the BAGCATS.

Our swimmers won 80 medals this year from 32 last year. With 141 top 6 placings against 87 last year. 6 Midland qualifiers and 1 National qualifier against 3 Midland and 0 National qualifiers last year.

So how did we do it, and more importantly how can we continue to improve? How do we get the finalists to win medals, the medallists to get to the Midlands and the Midland qualifiers to get to the Nationals?
