CONGRATULATIONS TO ARGYLE AND BUTE SWIMMING RECORD BREAKERS
Written by Archie Fergusson on 29/09/2011
Over last weekend records were broken by swimmers from Helensburgh, Dunoon, Kintyre and Oban in backstroke, breast stroke, butterfly, freestyle and individual medley.
Times were broken and 27 records were smashed as more than 110 swimmers from five swimming clubs from across Argyll and Bute descended on Helensburgh for the third annual Argyll and Bute swimming championships on 10 and 11 September.
The event, which was held in partnership with Helensburgh Amateur Swimming Club, welcomed Dunoon Amateur Swimming Club, Islay and Jura Dolphins, Kintyre Amateur Swimming Club and Oban Otters to compete in two days of fierce competition.
Speaking at the end of the event Spokesperson for third sector and communities Councillor Rory Colville said, “This has been an amazing competition. I would like to congratulate each and every competitor for making this event such a success. It has been an absolute privilege to have been involved this year and I am proud to say that these talented young people belong to Argyll and Bute. Next year the championships will be held in Dunoon and I look forward to another excellent weekend.”
We very much hope to arrange for some of the Record Breakers and winners to visit us here in the studio and tell of there experiences and what it feels like to be a RECORD BREAKER
