The Midland Synchronised Swimming Championships and Age Groups were held at Walsall Gala Baths on Sunday 25th October 2009 with swimmers from three West Midland clubs attending – City of Birmingham, Rugby, and Walsall Synchro.

The routine events included solos, duets and combo teams in the Age Groups, and duet and team events in the Championships.

City of Birmingham won both the Championship Duet and Combo.

In the 13/14years Combo event both City of Birmingham and Walsall Synchro had the same total score - as a result of a higher Technical Merit score, Birmingham took the gold medal.

In the Age Group events it was obvious that Walsall Synchro were determined to challenge Birmingham throughout the events.  

At the end of the day, City of Birmingham went home with 8 golds, 3 silvers and 3 bronze, Walsall won 4 golds, 4 silvers and 1 bronze and Rugby won 3 silvers and 2 bronze medals.

The enthusiasm of the athletes was great and they all performed to the best of their ability - the audience was very vocal in their support.
