Four days later Rachel swam out of her skin in the 200 m IM heats to achieve a 3 second PB and qualify for the finals. She repeated her time to finish in tenth place. The second week featured 15 year old Roisin Donnelly who qualified for the 200m and 100m Breastroke. Her first swim in the 200m breaststroke saw her just miss out on the final. She finished as Reserve for the final. But Roisin made no mistake in the 100m Breaststroke, qualifying for the Semi-Final in a time of 1.16.61. Roisin went on to qualify for the final in a superb PB time of 1.16.13. Roisin finished in 8th place in 1.16.23. We should not underestimate the magnitude of these swims.

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. Linda |

Whitehall V InCAS Monday 18th May InCAS latest game in the Water polo League was a Monday night visit to Dundee. The match promised to be tough and Menzieshill proved their point going ahead early in the first quarter. The away team rallied after that and leading from the front, Captain, Darren Campbell made the score at 1-1 at the end of the first. In the second period, InCAS continued to apply pressure and good finishing from Darren (2) and Chris Campbell (1) saw the home side punished. Menzieshill applied a lot of pressure in the third period creating a number of opportunities before forcing a penalty which was saved by Darren. Breakaways from Neil Vidler and Edward Haroun, in his return game, were eventually rewarded with Edward scoring late on to take the game into the fourth quarter with InCAS in a comfortable 5-1 lead. The superior fitness of the away team showed in the final period, Menzieshill created little while Darren and Chris Campbell added one a piece before Daniel Woodall tied up the game, 8-1 to InCAS.

Success for InCAS Swimmers The final weekend of the East District Age Group Swimming Championships took place at the Fife Institute Glenrothes with InCAS Swimming Club having an outstanding competition. The girls 10/11 years age group saw some quite superb swimming with Rachel O’Donnell star of the show. Rachel won the 100m butterfly final in 1.11.59 which was a Scottish age group and East District Record. The girls 10/11 years 100m freestyle was always going to be one of the highlights – and it didn’t disappoint. Firstly, Rachel won her heat in a new Scottish age group time of 1.04.64. In the next heat, InCAS swimmer Chelsea Lawson (who has only recently returned from long term injury) beat Rachel’s time to set another Scottish age group record in 1.04.50. A third InCAS swimmer, Laura-Kate O’Brien qualified in 4th place for the final in an excellent personal best time of 1.07.03. So the final was set and didn’t disappoint. It was touch and go up to the final 5 metres. The final result was both InCAS girls once again beating the Scottish age group record. Rachel took the gold in 1.04.07 and Chelsea the silver in 1.04.39 and to top it all the bronze went to Laura-Kate O’Brien. Chelsea won the 100m backstroke final in an East District Record time of 1.12.40 with Rachel second, also beating the ED record in 1.13.05 and Laura-Kate in 6th place.

Team mate 12 year old Samantha MacMillan made 2 finals. She placed 6th in the 100 back and 5th in the 100 fly - both personal bests. She’s now looking forward to competing in the same age group next year! The boys 12/13 group saw Great Britain squad water polo player, Chris Campbell, finish in 6th place in 100 m front crawl in an excellent personal best beating the one minute barrier in 59.94.
