Saturday 17 March 2018 saw to conclusion to this years Bingley Schools gala with Crossflats being crowned the Primary Schools Champions and Bingley Grammar taking the Secondary Schools title. Approximately 300 children representing 21 local primary schools and 3 secondary schools took part in this years competition.

Despite its best efforts, the weather was unable to dampen the enthusiasm of the swimmers, their parents or teachers, it may have been snowing and blowing a gale in Shipley on finals night, but I'm sure you could have heard the cheering and encouragement back in Bingley!

As always the racing was fantastic with some extremely exciting and close races but it's so nice that the loudest cheers of the night go not to the fastest swimmers but to those who have challenged themselves to take part in the competition and represent their school, everyone who competed did themselves and their school proud.

Well done to all the Schools who participated, fantastic swims were had by everyone! Thank you to the team managers/teachers for there hard work organising the teams and to the amazing poolside officials and helpers! And of course a massive thank you to the swimmers who all swam amazingly. We hope that everyone arrived home safely in the snow!

The full results are now available to download.
