Forth Valley Disability Regional School and Clubs Swimming Championships 2020
Grangemouth Sports Complex was host to Forth Valley Disability Sport Regional School and Club Swimming Championships on Saturday 7th March 2020.
Clubs and schools from throughout the Forth Valley and guests from Lothian and Dumfries and Galloway Areas entered teams to compete in 25m, 50m and 100m events in Freestyle, Breaststroke, Butterfly and Backstroke.
The event was very well attended with every swimmer having a fun and enjoyable time.
75 swimmers competed in the event to a very high standard. Many of who achieved the qualifying times for the Scottish Disability Sport National Swimming Championships that take place later this year.
The competition was very close and there was very little time between placing in many of the events, which made for a great atmosphere and lots of cheering from the spectator’s gallery.
