August 18, 2011April 1, 2009 by Nico

Swiss Team Championships were held on Saturday March 28th and Sunday March 29th at the Nid-du-Crô indoor pool in Neuchâtel. Our men’s team swam the NLA in the afternoon on both days.

Our team was composed of Buchs Tristan, Comeche Daniel, Courtois Damien, Fornasari Lino, Künzi Aurélien, Massacand Jonathan, Tschabuschnig Gregory, Tyriseva Yanouck, Waeber Dimitri and myself.

Lancy-Natation only competed in the NLA for the their third year and we all wanted to achieve something special this year. Our goal was to bring home a medal and we knew that 3rd place could be possible if everything would go for us at the meet.
