CONGRATULATIONS TO STREET&DISTRICT SWIMMING CLUB…

…FOR GAINING PROMOTION TO THE ARENA LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION!

This was a brilliant result but one i expected and have worked hard for this season. Its been a while since we have seen Street in the A Final in Division 1, and this year not only did we make the final, we gained the second spot for promotion – a first in the club history. We went into the final in 7th spot and worked hard from the outside lane, fighting for every place and mentally being tougher than i have ever seen the club before.To come back from 7th position with such strong competition against such good clubs, we did what some people thought was impossible.

I had heard rumors of other teams saying bad things about us and trying to taint our success. Thats ok, sometimes jealously comes across in a bitter way, but to be gracious in defeat is something some people find hard. We respect all our competition and are better athletes and coaches because of it. What we have achieved this weekend was due to the hard work of Street and DIstrict swimmers and coaches and the fabulous support of the parents and committee. I came here to turn this club around, and am working hard each day to make this happen. We aim to be a performance club that competes with the very best.

Well done Street and District Swimming Club – Zoe Baker (Head Coach)
