Royal Winter Wipeout 2018

Four of the Fish Eagles Masters participated in the Royal Winter Wipeout at Wellness World Indoor Pool on Friday, 3 August and Saturday, 4 August 2018.  They were Mike, Tanya, Judy and Lanie.  Joining them were Neil from PE Masters.

The gala was hosted by Royal Swimming Academy and though it was mostly younger swimmers taking part the “old” ones added a bit of class to the gala.  Great for the kids to see that you can still take part, swim and enjoy yourself when you are “older” and that swimming is a sport for life.

Medals won:

Tanya – 5 gold, Mike – 3 gold, Judy – 1 gold and 1 silver and Lanie – 1 gold and 2 silver.
