Scottish Summer Meet 2026

What a weekend in Aberdeen!

We kicked things off on Thursday with national debuts for Archie and Nieve in the 1500m Freestyle. Archie put together a strong swim, narrowly missing his PB, while Nieve smashed hers by an incredible 18 seconds! 🔥

Friday was our busiest day, with Jay, Ella, Nieve, Antoine and Lia all in action. There were PBs for Nieve, Lia and Antoine, with Lia and Antoine both making the finals! 💪

Saturday saw more solid performances, before Ella produced a brilliant 50m Freestyle swim, taking 0.5 seconds off her PB to finish 11th and become first reserve for the final.

After a delicious team meal at it was time for one final day of racing.

Sunday brought more excitement, with Jay adding another PB in the 400m IM and Lia, Ella and Antoine all back in action.

The drama wasn't over yet!

Both Ella and Antoine earned themselves swim-offs for places in the finals! Ella took another 0.5 seconds off her PB and was agonisingly touched out by just 0.02 seconds after a fantastic race against a swimmer. Antoine also gave it everything but came up against a strong opponent from

Across the weekend we celebrated:
💥 National debuts
💥 Huge PBs
💥 Final appearances
💥 Swim offs
💥 Fantastic team spirit

A big thank you to Declan for all his coaching and support throughout the weekend.

Thanks to Cast Iron Restoration for their support.

Now it's time for a well earned two week break before we're back in the pool on Monday 27th July!

It's a sad day for everyone at West Dun as we say goodbye and wish John the very best of luck!

In just a couple of weeks, John heads to America to begin an exciting new chapter on a football scholarship.

John has been part of the West Dun family for over 10 years. Throughout that time, he's been a fantastic teammate, a great character around the club, and someone who has made a real impact on both swimmers and coaches alike. He'll be greatly missed by everyone.

We couldn't be prouder of everything you've achieved, John, and we can't wait to see what the future holds.

From everyone at West Dun, good luck - we'll all be cheering you on! 🍀💙

What a weekend at the Scottish National Open Championships in Edinburgh! 🏊‍♂️🏊🏻‍♀️

A huge shoutout to Ludo and Aidan, who made their individual national championship debuts this weekend! 👏🔥
There were PBs flying in across the team, with some fantastic performances all round.
Special mention to Emma, who qualified for the 50m Backstroke, Butterfly & Freestyle finals!

On Sunday, Chiara joined the squad for the relays, where our 4x50m Freestyle A Team finished 9th overall, followed by a brilliant 10th-place finish in the 4x50m Medley Relay 💪

A fantastic meet from everyone involved, with plenty of confidence and momentum to take into the Summer Meet in just two weeks time! ☀️

A big thanks to Declan for coaching and support throughout the three days
And thank you to our sponsors Cast Iron Restoration for keeping the team looking smart in our tops! 🤝🏻
