The annual PADS Christmas Show went off with its traditional festive bang.

120 spectators filled the poolside at Churchers College as our swimmers put on a great display of routines created especially for the show, solos and duets being prepared for the Club Championships in January, and team routines being debuted ahead of the 2020 season.

Every age group was represented, from our youngest swimmers to those who make up our Masters team.

Everyone can now look forward to a well-earned Christmas break from training before we come back in January and prepare for an exciting season of competitions in the New Year.

Some of our younger swimmers had a chance to experience competition last week at the Novice Figure Rushmoor Hill Trophy Competition in Farnborough.

PADS secured some great results and all the swimmers learned a lot, some of them in their first ever competition.
