THE Annual Braw Lads Swimming Gala was held at the Galashiels Swimming Pool on Tuesday, June 16.

A packed and vocal pool welcomed the Braw Lad, Braw Lass and their Attendants before the event got underway.

A slight delay in proceedings added to the tension before the event got started and everyone was treated to a great evening of swimming across all age groups culminating in the mixed aged group Braw Lads Relay Race which went down to the wire.

The medal ceremony was conducted by the Braw Lass who in turn was presented with a bouquet of flowers from the youngest swimmer on the night.

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.

The Gala Swimming Club would also like to thank all the volunteers and BSLT Staff who ensured the evening ran smoothly.
