Well done to all swimmers who competed last weekend at the very first open meet of the season – the NUEL Early County Qualifier meet held at London Aquatics Centre , Stratford .
Three new Club Records were set :
Two by Oliver Cunningham in the boys 16 years age group 50 and 100 backstroke events in times of 28.77 and 1.00.98 respectively
One by Edward Henwood in the boys 14 years age group 50 backstroke event in a time of 30.12.
Our swimmers won 45 medals overall : 17 Gold – 19 Silver – 9 Bronze .
The 14 year old boys have – once again – proven to be a force to be reckoned with by coming 1st – Edward Henwood , 2nd – Max Sochovsky , and 3rd – George Harvey in 100 backstroke as well as coming 1st – Edward Henwood and 2nd – George Harvey with Max narrowly missing out on the 3rd place in the 200 backstroke events .
Rahul Bansal and Pietro Marzeglia also came 1st and 2nd in 200 backstroke in the 13 years age group.
Huge congratulations to one of our youngest competitors – Can Tetik – who made a clean sweep in the 50 , 100 , and 200 breaststroke events in the boys 9 years old age group !
