Southern Junior League
The Southern Junior League saw Trowbridge come up against some very strong teams in the first 2 rounds. Tornadoes of South Dorset, Ferndown & Bournemouth. Having to travel to Bournemouth for both rounds & in the second round Ellen Ghey breaking her wrist finishing on backstroke.
The last round was swum at Easton leisure centre in Bristol. Due to traffic problems some swimmers were a little late getting to the pool. Florence Berridge coming straight out of the changing rooms and into her relay race which had already started.

Race 4 we were disqualified due to a collision of swimmers at the take over. Trowbridge won 23 of the 49 races with 17 second places. The last race, the cannon, one girl, one boy from each age group swim freestyle relay. The whole team & parents were on there feet to cheer Trowbridge on. The noise was deafening. The captains were called to receive their trophy but whole team went up together. Well done to everyone who took part & the parents support.
