Gala

The Happy Few reassembled on the night of Saturday July 10th for the second round of the Wiltshire Summer League at the Springfield. This was a different team in terms of swimmers (quite a few changes due to some swimmers now being in the B Team or unavailable which necessitated some late night phone calls on the Friday - thanks Julia) but the same team in terms of spirit and support for one another. The referee started the event by instructing everyone to be hushed at the start of each race but to cheer loudly thereafter - the crowd needed no second bidding.

The third round of this year’s Summer league was held at Trowbridge, against the “usual suspects” namely hosts Melksham, Swindon Dolphins and league leaders Wroughton. And yes, it really was a battle this time, with the team never quite reaching the heights it had in the first two rounds. Wins were hard to come by, although there were some notable swims and lots of effort from newcomers Hannah Falipe, Safiya Mahmood and James McGettigan.... <more>

On Saturday 19th June a team from the Club travelled to Marlborough to compete in the second of the recent series of Friendly Galas. This had been organised following the Corsham Friendly in April which our fellow clubs enjoyed so much that they requested further events, giving many swimmers new opportunities to swim competitively for the Club.

The second round of this year’s Wilts ASA Winter league saw Corsham B hosting a home gala at the Springfield Leisure Centre. Opponents on the night were Malmesbury, Tigersharks B and Trowbridge C, who provided some tough and sometimes interesting competition. (click on 'read more' below)

Many congratulations to the small band of Corsham swimmers who swam so well at Tidworth last night. With the late withdrawal of Tigersharks, Corsham's sole opponents were Pewsey & Tidworth (complete with "blow up" Killer Whale), who competed gamely but had to give best to the visitors on the night.

It was a great pleasure to welcome the reconstituted Calne Alfa 4 swimming club along with Malmesbury swimming club to take part in the Corsham junior gala on saturday. It was also a good oportunity to give as many young swimmers as possible the chance to take part in a gala early in their swimming careers as Corsham fielded two teams.
