North of the border, and D&G had another swimmer making waves in open water this weekend.
Loch Ken at the Galloway Activity Centre played host to the Scottish National Open Water Swimming Championships (SNOWS), with 142 athletes taking to the water amid some changeable conditions. It was a stunning but demanding setting for a national championship.
Talia competed in the 10km event and delivered a stunning performance, finishing in a time of 1:58:56.99 to claim 1st place in the Female category and 3rd overall across men and women combined. That makes Talia the Scottish Swimming Female 10km Open Water Champion.
Racing 10 kilometres in open water, in changeable Scottish conditions, is an extraordinary feat. To do it at the front of the field is something very special.
Congratulations Talia. An amazing achievement and a title well deserved. We are incredibly proud of you.
Alongside many of her D&G team mates, Talia will also fly the flag at the Aquatics GB Next Gen Championships and the English Summer Nationals this summer. Watch this space.
