What a weekend local swim club InCAS had at their own annual Distance Meet held at the Fife Institute, Glenrothes on Saturday and Sunday 21st and 22nd June.

With 25 clubs from all over Scotland - and also a club from England - the competition was excellent.

Eleven year old InCAS swimmer Rachael O'Donnell had an outstanding two days with eight swims. She took home 8 Golds, 6 National Records and 7 East District Records and, not surprisingly, won Top 11/12 years age group.

The girls 10 and under age group saw 9 year old Tain Bruce have an excellent weekend winning a Silver in the 200m backcrawl, a 4th place medal in the 400m Free and two 5th place medals in the 200m Breastroke and 200m Free.

The 13/14 years saw 13 year old Leah Marshall have an outstanding weekend with Silver in the 200m Backcrawl and four superb lifetime bests. Thirteen year old Ailidh Brown won Bronze in the 200m Backcrawl and two 5th place medals in the 200m Breastroke and 200m Individual Medley.

23/06/2008 17:06 FIFE NOVICE AND LEAGUE UPDATE Novice Leagues

In the Boys 9 and under, InCAS finished in 5th place. The Girls 9 and under teams finished in 5th and 8th places. This is an excellent result for our swimmers, some of whom are only 6 or 7 years old.

Fife Leagues

The 10 and under age groups saw both the Boys and the Girls win their respective leagues. The boys won with 150 points - 87 points ahead of the second placed club. Well done to them. The girls narrowly won by 9 points, but had only 1 swimmer (out of 4) at league meet 3. 11-12 Boys were 3rd; 11-12 girls 6th. The girls 13-14 years had outstanding success winning their league by 80 points. What a great team they were. 15 and over boys were 2nd. Well done to our 'older' swimmers who are a great example to the young ones.

These results are excellent when you consider that they are team points and on many occasions we didn't field full teams.

Well done to all our swimmers who contributed to the success of the Club at these events. The Fife League trophies will be presented at the Fife Championships on October 12th at Carnegie.

A big thank you to all those parents who did time-keeping and judging duties, who marshalled, sold raffle tickets and programmes at the door and who helped
poolside. If we don't provide the requisite number of officials at these meets, the Club is fined, £25 per missing person. Over the course of these 4 meets, 2
sessions each time, we provided all the officials we needed, thus avoiding any fines. Thanks again for supporting your child and our club.

Thanks also go to our coaches, Garrie, Susan and Mia, who do an excellent job in preparing our swimmers for all the Galas they attend.
