Third time in a row for Rebecca
Plymouth Leander’s Rebecca Gribble took the Ladies 100m freestyle Championship for the third year running at the recent City of Plymouth ASA Championships held over three days at the Life Centre. She was also victorious in the backstroke event. Jessica Manning from a resurgent Devonport Royal Swimming Association also took two championships, the swimmers there obviously inspired by their young coach Iain Chalmers. The Mens championship honours were fairly evenly divided with three going to Plymouth Leander and two to Tavistock. Plymouth Leander fielded two very strong relay teams and the Ladies and Mens races were theirs for the taking.
The photo is of Rebecca Gribble having received her award from the Lord Mayor of Plymouth Councillor Pauline Murphy accompanied by Councillor Brian Vincent and the City of Plymouth Chair, Mrs Sarah Millington.
The Lord Mayor and her party stayed at the event most of the day, watching the racing, presenting awards, taking tea in the control room and lunching with the officials.

Primary pupils take to the pool for swimming contest - 11 June 2015
Sporty young Plymouth swimmers took part in a special gala. The Life Centre played host to the inaugural Plymouth School Sports Partnership (PSSP) swimming gala for primary school children from across the city. Ten teams, from nine schools, took part with children aged between 8 and 10 taking part in 15 races. The competition included the 50m freestyle and an eight by 25m cannon relay. A spokesman for the PSSP said it was hoped to build on this first event – which was assisted by Plymouth Leander Swimming Association and Everyone Active – with the aim of making it a regular fixture in the school calendar. Trophies were handed out to winning schools by Sally Davies, the chair of the City of Plymouth Amateur Swimming Association.
A huge thank you to Max Trebilcock from Plymouth Leander for identifying this opportunity for our involvement in encouraging young competitive swimming in the City. It was a terrific atmosphere round the pool and great to see lots of older children timekeeping the lanes and encouraging the young ones. Definitely something we at the Cities should continue to be involved with, the Championship Plaque that we donated was well received and it will be a good thing for successive Chairs to attend and present it.
