LAUNCESTON swim club enjoyed a successful weekend at the first half of the Cornwall County Championships 2009.

Thirteen members qualified to enter many of the races, including freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and individual medley, in which all performed with great excitement and gusto. Their marvellous efforts gained a majority of personal best times and a conglomeration of medals.

Coach John Rhodes, who presided over the events for the Launceston team, can be credited for his diligent hard work during the year in bringing the swimmers to such levels of achievement. Thanks go to Wendy Rivers and her volunteers for team managing the competitors during the different sessions.
