LAUNCESTON Swimming Club held their annual friendly ‘Home Gala’ at Phoenix Leisure Centre on Saturday, January 7.

Two teams of swimmers from Launceston Swimming Club competed against Bude Sharks and Camelford Stingers.

Participants competed in individual and relay events, ranging from under 11 right up to open age events.

It was a wonderful opportunity for all our local swimmers, who also enjoyed watching the adults compete and show them exactly how it is done as you get older.

The final results saw Launceston Blue edge out the stingers into second while Launceston Red pipped Bude into third.

Launceston Swimming Club chairman, Helen Wood thanked everyone for their support.

Helen said: “Well done to all the swimmers who participated and thank you to the many volunteers who enabled such an enjoyable evening.”
