This weekend, four of our swimmers embark on a journey north to Aberdeen to compete at one of Scottish swimming's most prestigious events — the Scottish National Age Group Championships (SNAGS).
Conan Swinney, Millie Swinney, Aodan Robson-Burrell and Frankie Clarence: you have earned your place on that start line. Every early morning, every hard set, every length swum in training has brought you to this moment. The whole of Derwentside and Gateshead Swim Team will be cheering you on from afar.
Swim fast, and enjoy every second of it.
We cannot wait to hear how you get on. Go show them what D&G is made of.
