Chiltern League Final 2007

Amersham's team overcame a nightmare of unknown and changing venues and times to bring a triumphant end to this year's Chiltern League at Aquavale in Aylesbury. The best turn-out this season, including one of our Masters swimmers, meant that we could field swimmers in every event. We won't know the final League results for a while, as Saturday night's swim was run as a time trial at three venues. But the times speak for themselves. Twenty-seven personal best times were recorded, inluding fifteen new times. Our eight "speeding tickets" were all incurred by swimmers achieving new personal best times, and three tickets were narrowly avoided by swimmers carefully staying within their best times. Our thanks to the parents who passed the initiative test and made it to Aquavale - and especially to those who whipped, coached, managed, time-kept, cheered and chauffeured. And thank you to the swimmers who looked every inch a winning team. Let's see even better times at next Saturday's Sprint Gala!
