| PL 2011 Short Course 7th Margaret Gardner Memorial Meet (Level 4), Plymouth |
|
 Margaret Gardner was one of Plymouth Leander's most respected and loyal coaches. In her memory, we run a friendly invitational meet at Plymouth College each year, which, for PL athletes, doubles as their Club Championships for that particular season. As Margaret's work stretched way beyond her important role within PL, including reaching thousands of children in both Devon and Cornwall during her many years on pool deck, we invite clubs from these counties to race alongside us and celebrate her life.
The meet is held over one weekend at the Plymouth College Pool and this year's meet will run Saturday 17th September - Sunday 18th September 2011. A full Olympic programme is offered (minus 800m and 1500m Freestyle) plus 50m form stroke events.
The MG Meet follows a License 4 concept. National qualifiers will not be competing due to the calendar timing of the competition, allowing swimmers of all other abilities to have an opportunity to qualify for the 2012 Devon and Cornwall County Championships prior to Christmas.
Also this year Session 1 will be used as time trials for participation in 2012 National Swimming League. All
swimmers who wish to form part of Plymouth Leander’s team and whose club has agreed to the
Swim21 Network Clubs Memorandum of Understanding are welcome to take part.
An inexpensive entry fee of £2.50 per individual event or £12.00 to enter any number of individual events (£8.00 if under 9 years old) within respective age groups ensures that developing athletes are able to experiment across a range of events in a non-pressured and friendly environment.

| PL Double Up On National Club Titles In Taking The British National Youth Club Champions Award Aswell!! |
  |
Monday, August 31 2009 @ 04:53 PM UTC
Contributed by: PL Swimming

 Sheffield, England: So, with PL taking the Top British Club award at the National Age Groups, it would be greedy to win the Top Youth Club title as well wouldn't it? Well, someone has to win it, and why not do the double for the first time. And therefore, a mere seven days after taking one British Club title, PL claimed their second - Top British Youth Club 2009.
Underlined with an incredible 25 medals (12 gold, 10 silver & 3 bronze) at the six-day meet at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield, PL were to beat the next British Club (City of Leeds) by well over 100 points, with the Canadian guest team from Alberta still trailing some 60 points in the Leander wake.
You want to know where those 25 medals came from right?....

 Plymouth, England: We've never had a full on reunion, so this is it!
This September, it's 20 years since Jon became Head Coach of Plymouth Leander. From the former days of Ballards and Seaton through to becoming the strongest swimming club in the UK, we have much to celebrate and remember - but we need all you old boys and old girls back to do it.
So... if you're a former swimmer, current swimmer, coach or former coach or you've been part of ther club over the last two decades, come and have a couple, nah, make that several drinks with us!

Sheffield
Sheffield, England: Nine (yes, that's nine) selected for Great Britain in what saw Plymouth Leander not just continue to stake their claim as the UK's leading swimming programme, but also come to the fore as a true and worthy alternative to British Swimming's ITC programmes into 2012 and beyond.
Sheffield, England: 
Sheffield, England: Plymouth Leander won the 40th National Swimming League Cup Final of England and Wales at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield in front of a packed spectators gallery. This, their second successive National Club Champions title sees them join an elite group of only four English swimming clubs who have managed to win the Cup Final in two successive years.
Haslemere, England: Two of Great Britain’s most iconic swimming figures had their British Junior short course records taken at the Haslemere Open as Plymouth Leander’s Sam Straughan set about two of the former marks held by Liam Tanc0ck and Mark Foster.
Pune, India: The exciting prospect that is Calum Jarvis was to return from the 2009 Commonwealth Youth Games with a silver medal round his neck and some highly promising early season times under tough conditions in the sweltering Indian heat. PL were to have six athletes selected to compete at the meet from five different nations, with Calum Jarvis (Wales) joined by David Gregory (England), Grant Halsall (Isle of Man) and Heather Millar (Isle of Man) also taking great International experience from the occasion. Achieng Ajulu-Bushell (Kenya) and Christian Homer (Trinidad & Tobago) opted to decline their country’s selections due to academic commitments.
