DESPITE holding the club disco the previous day, an enthusiastic group of swimmers and parents from Redditch Swimming Club made the journey to Wolverhampton for the inaugural Wyre Forest SC Christmas Relay Gala.
This new event brought together clubs from the area to celebrate the festive period and to mark the enthusiasm and support of the swimming community.
Redditch were clearly up for the competition, starting with a flurry of wins and continued in the same vein all evening, eventually winning 18 of the 43 races.
But the hosts were never far behind and it wasn’t until a tumultuous win in the final mixed cannon relay featuring 16 swimmers from each club that victory was assured.
Final Result: Redditch 200; Wyre Forest 193; Worcester 165; Droitwich Dolphins 152; Evesham 98; Pershore Penguins 67.
