SPECTATORS crammed into Galashiels Swimming Pool on Tuesday night for the Braw Lads' Swimming Gala.

Braw Lad Greg Kelly, Braw Lass Kimberley O'May and their attendants were given a rousing welcome as they came to support the young competitors.

And the swimmers from all age groups put on a fantastic display throughout the evening, which culminated with the mixed aged group Braw Lads' Relay Race.

This event didn't disappoint. The six teams, made up of the fastest swimmers on the night, ploughed through the water driven on by the loud and vocal support of parents and team mates only to be separated by fingertip touches.

The medal ceremony was conducted by the Braw Lass who, along with her attendants, was presented with a bouquet of flowers from Chloe Tuft and Henry Noble (the two youngest swimmers on the night).

The winning school and winners of the Douglas Brown Trophy was once again Clovenfords.

The event was overseen by starter Bill Cowan of Gala Amateur Swimming Club, while announcer Robbie Czajka got the spectators cheering on the competitors.

The Braw Lads' Committee would like to thank The Trophy Guy for supplying the medals and the Galashiels and Langlee Community Council for the flower bouquets.

Gala Swimming Club would also like to thank all the club volunteers and LIVE Borders Staff who ensured the evening ran smoothly.
