Well done guys on some good swimming. There were plenty of positives, new NER times, Long Course pbs, but there were also plenty of elements that we can work on over the coming months. Onwards and upwards!! Lets push hard and work on those basics that cost seconds- breathing patterns, streamlines etc!!
Sarah Fisher
Development Coach
Congratulations swimmers on some fine swimming. Extra congrats to Cameron on his medals and club record and also to all our finalists.
It’s great to see that quite a few NER QTs were also achieved at the Yorkshire’s too!

Fifteen year old Fraser Buxton looked confident in winning the 50m breaststroke and he also claimed bronze in the 50m butterfly.
Kiera Hinchcliffe was the clubs double medal winner when she finished first in the twelve years 200m backstroke and third in the shorter 100m event
Gracie Beaumont swam a highly competitive 200m backstroke in the thirteen years age group to claim silver and fifteen year old Sam Akers of Keighley went under the magic minute to finish third in the 100m freestyle in a time of 59.30
