SWIMMING

Cirencester Swimming Club came third in the Dave Bryant Memorial Gala at the end of March in Bristol.

With Cirencester having won the gala for some years previous the youngest swimmers of the club (12 and below) had a tough job and should be proud of their third place trophy.

Points and rankings from the night are:

1. 224 Severnside Swim

2. 193 Southwold Swim

3. 165 Cirencester

4. 164 Bristol penguins

5. 151 Bospool (Burnham-on-sea)

6. 107 Soundwell Swim

Coaches took the chance to rest their County swimmers and selected a team of first-time competitors to experience a gala with some of Cirencester's swimmers competing aged as young a nine.
