Huge congratulations to our JP2 and SP squads swimmers who competed last weekend 2 – 3 November at the SE London Winter Championships held at London Aquatic Centre .
Seven new Club Records have been set and they are as follows :
Oliver Cunningham ( 17&over age group ) – in all Backstroke events in times of 27.18 – 50m ( Silver medal ) , 58.14 – 100m and 2.05.19 ( Silver medal ) – 200m as well as in the 400 freestyle in a time of 4.09.99
Edward Henwood ( 15 years ) – in 50 freestyle and 50 backstroke events in times of 25.46 and 28.20 respectively
Max Sochovsky ( 15 years ) – in 200 backstroke in a time of 2.13.95 .
Oliver’s times are also Qualifying Times for the Swim England National Winter Championships – the biggest English swimming meets of the winter months which often welcomes a number of Great Britain’s top senior and junior swimmers .
Last year more than 3,600 swimmers entered the competition with Ponds Forge , Sheffield , hosting four days of exciting racing .
Oliver will be joined at the Winter Championships by Edward Henwood who qualified for the 100 and 200 butterfly events so far.
With one more qualifying competition to go there is still opportunity for swimmers to qualify and / or add more events .
Special mention goes to Evan Sochovsky who competed in the 50 backstroke event in the Junior age group ( 16 years and under ) despite only being 13.
Well done everyone !!!
