🏊 TRAINING CANCELLED 🏊
We are having to cancel training tonight as the leisure centre has closed the pool due to someone being sick. Apologies for another missed session but hope everyone can enjoy a bit more sun! ☀️

P2 training cancelled tonight
See you all Sunday!

What a fantastic afternoon we had today at our end-of-season trip to Manley Mere!

It was brilliant to see so many of our swimmers enjoying themselves on the Aqua Park, supporting each other (and occasionally pushing each other off the inflatables! 😄).

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a fun day, and for celebrating everything they've achieved this season.

Good luck to everyone swimming in Liverpool tomorrow
GO VIKINGS! 💙🏊

A huge congratulations to former Viking Adam Bradley on qualifying for both the Commonwealth Games and the European Championships this summer, representing Ireland! 🇮🇪

What an incredible achievement from Adam, everyone at Vikings will be cheering you on every step of the way this summer.
As if that wasn’t enough, Adam also broke the Irish Junior Record for the 100m Breaststroke earlier this spring. Truly sensational!

And while we’re celebrating former Vikings, a massive well done to Tom and Will O’Brien, who have once again qualified for British Nationals this year, alongside our current Vikings Ella, Tylia and Tatiana (representing SM), as mentioned earlier. Amazing achievements all round!

It’s shaping up to be a very exciting summer for the club, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything our swimmers are accomplishing.

Keep chasing those times, working hard and developing your skills, you never know how far swimming could take you! It could be you one day.

National qualifying list is finalised, a huge well done to these three ladies on qualifying. A fabulous result for a small club and we continue to push for more success.

Pool is closed

Another fun peaks & plains gala, we had loads of brilliant swims, a winners certificate and speeding ticket, new swimmers in our team and lots of parent help - thank you everyone.

Good Luck Ella tomorrow and Well done Tylia!

We hadn’t posted this earlier as to keep the pressure off Tylia

A huge well done to Tylia at the Aquatics GB championships/European and Commonwealth qualifiers.

A massive deal to even be invited to swim! Tylia went just off PB on Tuesday in the 100 Freestyle but posted a seasons best time only surpassed by her time at summer nationals last year.

Thursday is where Tylia really turned it in though, taking part in the 200m Freestyle, her main target event. After a heat where is couldn’t have gone worse in prep as Tylia already a little nervous tore her race skin just before going to the call room. She had to make an emergency change into her costume.
Thankfully she still made the final, and what a swim that was. A new race skin and calm of focused attitude, swimming live on BBC!! Tylia took 3 seconds off her PB and finishing 7th in a final containing 4 international level para swimmers, world record holders and Paralympic champions. She went out with purpose and attacked the first 100 going 2 seconds off her 100 time earlier in the week. Bringing it back in the 2nd 100 with everything she had.
A huge well done Tylia.

Ella goes tomorrow in the 50m Freestyle and we will all be behind her. After a really solid week swimming in the Irish championships last week, she is looking to step up again this weekend!

As I said earlier, this is a huge achievement from the girls! There is basically no higher level meet they could be swimming at this year without going internationally. And it cannot be understated how well they have done to reach this level.

Let’s go Vikings and Good Luck Ella!!

We will update on Ella’s progress tomorrow

Good Luck to Knutsford swimmers taking part in regionals over the next few weekends.
Charlie, Liesel and Tati start us off this weekend!
