Two weddings in the Master’s section, superb results in the Masters National Championships in Sheffield at end October and a night-time spooky open water swim
3.45pm on Sunday 16th October was a significant time for Saxon Crown. Why? Because the club’s first home gala for several years – Saxon Crown’s Autumn Showdown - had successfully concluded after two days of brilliant competition. And what a tremendous success it was, confirmed most emphatically by the compliments received from the visiting coaches, swimmers and spectators.
Team Saxon travelled around London to get to Hatfield to compete in the first round of the National Arena League. We were competing against 5 teams we had not met in previous competitions; Bishops Stortford SC, Hoddesdon SC, Harpenden SC, Hertford SC and Hillingdon SC.
Over forty Saxon swimmers travelled to Crook Log to compete in the Erith Super Sunday Sprint. The meet is all 50s and each swimmer had to compete in all four 50s for their age group.
Team Saxon were at Crook Log for Round 3 of Kent Junior League. All of our swimmers gave excellent accounts of themselves, many achieving new PBs and qualifying or consideration times for County and Regional Championships.
It was brilliant to see so many of our swimmers and their families and indeed volunteers from way back enjoying the sunshine, the fun games and most of all, each other’s company.
