DISAPPOINTED......

I heard today that apart from teams from England, Australia and 1 person from NZ - no other CW countries have bothered to enter a team as yet so there is a real risk that the whole competition may get cancelled. This is a real shame and Im concerned about what this means for the development of the sport internationally. The folks here in England are very disappointed.

I feel absolutely gutted as Ive been looking forward to this for months and put so much effort and time into training, already bought my plane tickets etc.

... and I had a new PB on the 200m on Friday 1m 55s (this was at the end of the day with a soft fin).

Simon, I am so sorry to hear that, but I know the feeling. I think if a group agrees to host a meet, they should go through with it, no matter how many show up.

It doesn't matter the amount of competitors or teams, just that people want to compete.

The first state finswimming championships we ever held in Texas had on 14 competitors, but we went along with it anyway.

If competitions are not held, the sport will not grow.

Keep your chin up. Perhaps all is not lost yet.
