Ayrshire Swimmers at Open European Trigames

Congratulations to Ayrshire Swimmers Cerys McCrindle and Laura Logan (both South Ayrshire Swim Team) on representing Down Syndrome Swimming GB (DSSGB) at the Open European Trigames in Ferrara, Italy.

The girls flew out at the beginning of October, along with Andrea Manson from Dumfries and Galloway, one of the swimming coaches for DSSGB. This was the first competition for two years and everyone was delighted to have been able to travel and compete safely all within the constraints of Covid.

The girls had been training hard throughout lockdown which definitely paid off. The swimming team as a whole (8 swimmers) broke world records, produced numerous medals and PBs, not to mention lots of fun on and off poolside, to which Cerys and Laura contributed significantly.

The team also managed to do some sightseeing round Ferrara which was a nice ‘rest day’ before back on poolside doing what they do best!

Well done to all, looks like it was a great trip away with many medals, personal achievements and memories made.
