On Sunday October 12 a small squad from Bude Sharks travelled to Truro for the Cornwall County ASA - Masters Open Gala. Most of the team were very nervous about taking part in competition at this level however the friendliness and camaraderie of the other competitors soon allayed any fears.

With coach Maggie Davies cheering from poolside, Bude soon started to smash personal best times and win some medals!

After a magnificent performance in all of his events, Tim Moyle has been selected to represent Cornwall at the Masters Inter-County event in Weston Super Mare on November 16. Good luck to Tim and the rest of the squad.
