Pembrokshire swimming camp success

Pembrokeshire's top young swimmers took part in a special skills camp.
Thirteen of the best swimmers from five County clubs pooled their talent at Pembroke Leisure Centre pool.
The training camp was the final session in a series of three winter skills camps organised by Pembrokeshire Leisure - Pembrokeshire County Council's leisure arm.
Previous winter camps were held in Milford Haven in October and Crymych in January.
The nine to 12 year-olds were put through their paces by Paul Dowey, Pembrokeshire Leisure's swimming development coach
"I am very pleased with the progress that these young swimmers have made since September," said Paul Dowey.
"It is a testament to the hard work of the volunteers in all our development clubs".
The skills camps are designed for those youngsters who already swim competitively with their local clubs.
Youngsters are selected from five member clubs of Pembrokeshire County swimming - Haverfordwest Seals, Milford Haven Tigers, Pembroke & District, Tenby Dolphins and Fishguard Flyers.
Swimmers will now be re-selected for future camps based on their results from the 200m individual medley event.
Anyone interested in joining a competitive swimming club should contact their local leisure centre.
