Portsmouth Northsea Gala

Over the Easter weekend, JO1 travelled down to Portsmouth for the “Easter Meet 2019”. These meets are a great opportunity for the group to bond and learn more about how best to prepare themselves for away competitions. This will be invaluable experience for when they start swimming international meets in their swimming career. Judging from the Twitter and Facebook posts, the team (looked after by Luke, Jack, Kerry and Roz) had a fantastic time, and raced extremely well.

JO2 raced really well and demonstrated the great skills they have been working on in training.

British Champs Day 5

Day 5 was amazing as we had our first British Champion in Sam Budd over the 800 Freestyle in a super time of 7:59.72. Sam took the lead right from the start and never let go and with some excellent turns Sam put himself in a great position. On the final 50 he had to get back in 29 sec to go under the magical 8 min barrier and he did just that. Huge congratulations to Sam, what an awesome swim.
