DS (13) competed yesterday in the swimming at the London Youth Games, int he backstroke, Medly relay and freestyle relay although it was only 1 length (50m) and thats not his best distance (he prefers and is better at longer distances) he won the bronze medal in the junior section (year 9 and under) 50m Backstroke he will still be able to compete in the junior section next year if he is chosen. It was a great atmosphere and a very well organised event and the kids were treated exceptionally well, given meal vouchers and lots of freebies, t-shirts, bags, swimming hats, balls pens etc.. it was really encouraging to see young sportsmen and women encouraged in this country - in my opinion something that rarely happens. Did anyone else have children competing and what did they think about the organisation.
