BWSC Swims at SER Youth Championships
BWSC Youth swimmers were in action over the Bank Holiday weekend of 30th April, 1st & 2nd May in the South East Region Youth Championships. There were a number of good performances with Calum Macgregor & Clara Nutting in the 200m Backstroke and Oliver Weedon in the 100m Backstroke narrowly missing National Qualifying times.

On the first day of the Championships the boys 15-18yrs 4 X 100m Medley Relay of Chris Brook, Kevin Mitchell, Steven King and Marley Farrell came 3rd.

On day 2 our boys 4 X 100m Freestyle Relay Team of Steven King, Chris Brook, Kevin Mitchell and Marley Farrell achieved 1st place and on day 3 the boys 4 X 200m Freestyle Relay Team of Steven King, Ewan Laing, Marley Farrell and Chris Brook narrowly came second behind Portsmouth Northsea. We now wait to see if they have qualified for the National Championships in July.

Over the weekend BWSC had 31 individual finalists and won a total of 15 medals. Individual medallists were:-

  • Steve King who won 3 Gold and 1 Bronze
  • Kathryn Willis won 1 Gold and 1 Silver
  • Kevin Mitchell won 1 Gold
  • Ewan Laing won 2 Bronze
  • Marley Farrell won a 1 Bronze
  • Oliver Weedon won a 1 Bronze
  • Jamie Shields won a 1 Bronze
  • The swimmers all competed well and there were a number of good swims and personal best times set over the course of the Meet. Well done to all swimmers.

    The younger members of the Club will shortly have the opportunity to demonstrate their talents when they compete in the South East Region Age Group Championships over 2 weekends in May/June.
