Thank you @ScottishSwim for a great meet up in Aberdeen. @morpeth_asc thanks for looking after Conan on days 1 and 2. Conan has had a great first SNAGS (with 3 finals thus far) and is looking forward to the 100 and 800 freestyle this afternoon to finish it off. #TeamGAW pic.twitter.com/HJx2np6jfX

It was great to see a club record 27 swimmers turn out to morning training at Elswick International Aquatic Centre. It must be the Coach K factor! #TeamGAW pic.twitter.com/pYDg3c8DKr
