With Regionals now underway, our minds are already drifting back to the epic competitions that have got us here… 💭🏊♂️
A solid few weekends ago, a small but mighty team of 15 Cormorants swimmers took on the Carn Brea & Helston Fast 5 event in Bodmin, a brilliantly tough format where every swimmer races a 50m in all four strokes plus a 100m IM. With points scored using the FINA system, every swim counted… and our squad delivered!
🏅 10 gold
🥈 7 silver
🥉 10 bronze
An incredible medal haul, alongside some fantastic first competition experiences for our younger swimmers, great to see the future of the club stepping up!
Huge shoutout to Gwithyen Brown and Coral Follett for taking overall age group titles 👏
We also saw a strong showing at the City of Bristol Level 1 Long Course meet earlier this month, where our swimmers rose to the challenge at a seriously high level of competition and represented the club brilliantly (yes Emily and Zeek both forgot to bring towels!!! The bank of mam saved the day!!).
And of course, a special mention to Will Davies, who took to the blocks at the British Senior Championships & Commonwealth Games Trials at the London Aquatic Centre, an amazing experience competing among the very best 💪 (keep your eyes peeled for a special feature on Will coming soon)
Now, with 14 Cormorants swimmers achieving Regional qualifying times (an incredible achievement in itself!), we’re proud to be competing as a joint squad with NCD, and making history with our first ever relay team entries! 🔥
Good luck to everyone racing over the next few weekends, we’re already proud of how far you’ve come. Let’s keep it going! 💙
