I just wanted to share a little bit of news about our daughter’s recent achievement outside of Seals.I know she is not in the top 2 or 3 swimmers in her year at Seals but she works hard nevertheless and has progressed.She recently competed in a pony club tetrathlon (horse riding, swimming, running and shooting) event out near Shaftesbury. Her results were so-so but in the swimming she was placed first of ALL the girls in her age group across ALL the clubs. She was very pleased.We just wanted you to know that her work and especially all the efforts of the coaches often pays off in ways that you don’t get to see.

(an e-mail of thanks was sent to Anne, Annette and Carol on behalf of the parents).
