Today the first ever Devon & Somerset Wing event took place in the form of the
Wing Swimming championship. Technically, it is not official since Devon and
Somerset Wing does not form until September 30th, but since the Regional
Championship does not take place until October 9th, it was necessary to run this
as the new Wing.
Chivenor Squadron sent two contenders down to compete, Cdt Barney and Cdt
Martin:
Cdt Martin came 3rd in the breaststroke final, 2nd in the backstroke and 1st in the individual medley.
Cdt Barney came 3rd in the freestyle final, and 2nd in the breaststroke final. She was also a part of the winning female relay team. However, the team is ineligible for the regional competition since the team was a joint effort between 13, 326, 722 and 1146 squadrons.
Cdt Martin will now represent the Wing in the junior male Individual Medley, and
Cdt Barney has been selected as reserve in the junior female Breaststroke for the
Regional swimming competition to be held on October 9th.
