Mike Olizar is victorious

Breaststroke wins the Cyril and Yvonne Wood Cup for Olizar

A beautiful morning at the Serps for the 220 yard race for the Cyril and Yvonne Wood Cup.  It was won by Mike Olizar.

The LOVELY Paddy Boyce came down to present the prizes, and was most generous with his assortment of prizes.

Inspired by his great racing in the recent Cygnets Under 18 race over 110 yards, the young Danny Mavra entered the adult timed handicap racing section today. At 200 yards, Danny had to swim double last week's distance, and he succeeded with a very respectable third place, and paced his swim well. Danny will have to keep working at his speed and stamina, and one day in the future he might be good enough to claim a first place, but that will take a lot of effort for the young swimmer. Nothing great is easy Danny.

Many Serpies were off to help or compete in the Swim Serpentine events this weekend, and we wish them well.

Thanks to Fiona for the photos and Tiggy for the write-up.
