Louth Dolphins Biathlon Success

Sunday 29 July saw 65 swimmers from Louth Dolphins set out to prove that not only were they swim fit but also run fit by taking part in the Club’s third annual Biathlon event. The event marked the end of the Club’s season before swimmers took a well deserved break from training and competing.
Held at Louth’s Meridian Leisure Centre the event was kindly sponsored by local firm Rodden &
Cooper. The swimmers, who train in the Club’s Skills, Development, Performance and Masters
squads had to complete a 400m timed swim before setting out on a 1 mile run around the Wood Lane playing fields. The weather even managed to hold off until the last runner was home, before the rain started.
Charlotte Elliott-Wright (Skills Coach and event organiser) was impressed with the number of entries and the enthusiasm and friendly competitive nature of all those who took part.
Enthusiastically cheered on by parents, coaches and fellow swimmers the competitors were
awarded medals and trophies for the fastest in each age group. The winners were:
Skye Holmes (girls 8 yrs); Finley Scott and Florrie Hensman (boys and girls 9 years); William Taylor
and Olivia Anstey (boys and girls 10 years); Jake Adams and Daisy Jacklin ((boys and girls 11 years);
Luke Brumpton and Ruby Waring (boys and girls 12 years); George Billington and Phoebe Payne
(boys and girls 13 years); Christian Rook (boys 14 years); Owen Hall and Poppy Jacklin (boys and girls 15 years and over).
Charlotte Elliott-Wright would like to thank all the helpers and competitors for making this event a
success and Rodden and Cooper for sponsoring this event.
