Glasgow Schools Swimming Prelims

Yesterday the Glasgow Swimming Prelims were held at Whitehill Pool. The Glasgow Gaelic School had eight pupils competing in various events:

Lewis Dickson 50m Butterfly and 50m Backstroke
Amy Craig 50m Breaststroke
Iain Campbell 50m Freestyle
Fraser Watt 50m Freestyle
Shannon Beattie Lifesaving and 100m Breaststroke
Shannon McShane Lifesaving and 100m Freestyle
Rachael Lyons 100m Freestyle
Anna Matheson 100m Freestyle

All pupils did very well in their event competitions. The quality of swimming was very high, competing against very experienced swimmers with the majority involved in swimming clubs.

Although it was a Prelim for the Finals night in a few weeks some Finals were held yesterday. Shannon Beattie and Shannon McShane got a bronze medal in the Lifesaving event. Also Lewis Dickson performed very well to place in the top 6 in the backstroke and butterfly and qualify for the finals at the end of October.

Well done to all who took part.
