Young David has now earned his Gold swimming badge and moved across to the Honours lane. Gold is a toughie, honours even more so because they are hard work. He is excellent at front crawl, reasonable with breast stroke and a bit slow with back stroke as his arms aren’t developing powerful strokes yet. However, with careful coaching he has managed to pace himself and put the effort in He now excels and his instructor is very pleased with him.
Stamina is important as is technical quality of the strokes, particularly in the higher awards.
Now the race is on to get his final swimming badge before the Morley Leisure Centre gets demolished!
