Cadets from 1024 (Isle of Wight) Squadron took part in the first annual Inter-Service Swimming Gala last Saturday.

They competed against 8 Sea Cadet units and 2 Army Cadet units from all over the Island and managed to reach a respectable third place.

Congratulations must go out to Corporal Danny Bentley (aka CPL Nemo) who has only been with the unit for 5 months after transferring from a Squadron in Manchester.

Corporal Bentley won all the races for his age group and even beat the Navy and Army in the 100m relay race by himself (swimming all legs) when the other cadet units were entering teams of four people to race!

The Swimming Gala is hoping to become an annual event and 1024 Squadron look forward to competing again next year!

Congratulations to all involved!
