BUDE Sharks Swimming Club had four of their swimmers travelling to Tiverton on Sunday July 17 for the Tiverton Sprint Gala.

This was quite a trek for the swimmers, having to leave early in the morning but once there spirits were high and the atmosphere was great.

This gala was very well attended, having 18 swimming clubs across the West of England. Clubs ranging from Aberystwyth, Gloucester City, Wells & Shepton Mallet to Devonport, Exeter and Truro.
