On Saturday, 26th April, a team from Blackpool Polar Bears attended the Special Olympic Regional Gala at Picton Aquatic Centre, Liverpool.
A fun time was had by all (which is the most important thing), but the 15 members that attended came back with this haul:
- 12 Gold medals
- 16 Silver medals
- 8 Bronze medals
- 3 5th place medals
- 3 7th place medals
- 2 “*th” medals and
- 2 “speeding tickets” (i.e. not ranked as had improved so much that the class entered was no longer appropriate!)
A big “Thank You” to all who took part, to all who supported the team and, of course, a big CONTRATULATIONS to all who gave their best in the water!
