Tigersharks Teams Shine at both Winter League venues

Tigersharks swimmers in great shape at the first round of the Winter League this weekend. The A Team at the Link swam very well without a full team and with a costly DQ to win their gala on the night at the Link. The competition was good with Tigersharks, Corsham, Chippenham and Swindon Dolphin A providing wins on the night. The first round did go to Tigersharks A on the night but they are very aware that the competition from Trowbridge A and Salisbury will come into play as we get further into the competition. The younger Tigersharks swimmers in particular showed their incredible strength as they ploughed their way to victory over and over again. A great effort on the night but complacency cannot be allowed to slip in.

Meanwhile Tigersharks B were finding the going tough at Trowbridge against some very strong teams. However although 85% of the team were swimming up at least one age group all of the swimmers refused to give up and produced some fantastic swims throughout the night. They battled all night to gain every 4th and 5th place they could and despite coming away in last place the team was very proud of its performance.
