Report. Lucy Procter, Head Coach, Feb 24.
On 1st February 2004 Josie travelled with the Para squad from Richmond Dales to Aberdeen Sports village for the Para Swimming International Winter Meet. The event; The Citi Para Swimming World Series (the 1st leg in the 2024 calendar) ran parallel with the British Para Swimming International Meet. The 4-day event welcomed competitors from all over the world including some of Britain’s top athletes and their international rivals.
Josie had an amazing weekend and thoroughly enjoyed her experience and said the 400m Freestyle was her favourite race of the 4 day event. Congratulations on your Long Course PBs……tremendous performance Josie !
Congratulations to all swimmers who took part in the first weekend of the ND LC Championships an amazing effort by all. Full report will be issued after the Second week of competition.
Well done to all swimmers who competed at the first gala of 2024!
Congratulations to Lewis Kestle who swam in 50m Backstroke at the Swim England National Winter Championships. Lewis had an exceptional swim against some of the fastest swimmers in the country and came away with a PB time of 28.29 seconds. Amazing achievement Lewis, as a result of all of your hard work!
Five Top Squad swimmers competed in 13 events at Scottish National Short Course Championships in Edinburgh 9-10th December.
Emily Burrell qualified in four sprint events. She swam two huge PB’s in 50m Breaststroke and 100 IM, matched her PB in 50m Butterfly and just missed out on a PB in 50m Freestyle by 0.01 seconds!! Great weekend of racing.
Lewis Kestle qualified in three sprint events. He swam a PB in 50m Butterfly whilst his 50m and 100m Backstroke were both within 0.3 seconds of PB’s that he had set only 4 weeks prior at NER Championships.
Alex Morton has continued to drop time in his 200m Butterfly, taking another 2.4 seconds off his PB! He also swam a great 100 IM (with only 10 minutes break) to be just outside of his PB set at NER Championships in Nov.
Niamh Kay swam two solid swims in 50m and 100m Breaststroke, with a season’s best in the 100m!
Harry Whitfield swam in his best event, 1500m Freestyle, in a very respectable 17 mins 25. Although not quite a personal best time, Harry was one of the youngest swimmers at the Open competition at just 13yrs! Amazing achievement to get the Open qualifying time at National level.
