Welcome to Kingsbridge Kingfishers !
Kingsbridge Kingfishers first started in 1998 with the opening of the new 25m pool at Quayside Leisure Centre and since then we have competed in many friendly galas. We have also have trained many swimmers to compete in swim meets, county championships (we had over 60 entries to the main competition in 2004, 109 entries in 2005 and 126 entries in 2006). We have also sent swimmers to the Western Counties Championships for the last 5years!
TIMES & RESULTS:
We regularly upload information from our results database to Team Manager Online, so if you want to know your PBs, rankings, meet entries etc, please click here and select what you want to view from the menu at the top of that page. The site has changed slightly - you now need to select SCM (short course metres) in the drop down box above the strokes and distances boxes!
GALAS:
The final round of the Cornwall and West Devon League couldn't have offered more excitement. Plymouth Leander lead from start to finish, but the real battle was between Kingsbridge, Newton Abbot and Dinnaton. The race for second changed hand virtually every race with the final scores being PL 160, Newton Abbot 119, KKSC 114, Dinnaton 113
The next galas coming up are as follows:
Exeter Sprint Meet 21st September
Plymouth City Championships 4th, 5th and 25th October
Everyone thoughroughly enjoyed themselves at the recent day out at Woodlands Leisure Park. For photos, visit the news page.
