Vienna Valentines Meet 2023

Competition Report: Vienna Valentines meet 2023

We can be really proud of our 20 swimmers in Vienna for a weekend of hard swimming plus some serious eating, and party-going. We started the OTS team bonding on Friday night with a great pizza place. Mark Nash organised gret accommodation at Womads Hostel and The Jazz Hotel.

Overall, Out to Swim came 3rd in the medals league with a total of 42. Due to our lack of women, we were pipped to first place by only 6 medals. We did win the most gold medals though, a massive 23, with 12 silver and 8 Bronze.

We are getting even better at relays: Our M100+ 4 x 50 medley teams came in 1st and 2nd; the M120+ were 1st and the M160+ cam in 3rd. The meet ended with the 4 x 50 Freestyle and once again our M100+ teams came in 1st and 2nd. The M120+ team came 2nd.

Out to Swim broke 12 of Vienna’s meet records this year.
