Chippenham ASC had swimmers competing at the Tigersharks Spring Open Meet on 12th/13th March at the Link Centre, Swindon. It was a mixed team of younger swimmers together with performance swimmers trying to obtain Regional Qualifying Times.
The swimmers had requested entry into 99 races but following a 60% oversubscription to the meet, some swimmers were unable to complete in some or all of the races they requested. During the weekend Chippenham ASC had swimmers competing in 74 races (taking into account illness and withdrawals on the day).
The swimmers managed an impressive medal haul of 7 gold, 8 silver and 10 bronze.
Many PB's were achieved across the weekend and also an amazing 9 Regional Qualifying Times, 6 of which were either new or improved times. These were;
| Amy Hall | 100m Butterfly - Regional Consideration Time. |
| Harrison Jones | 400m Individual Medley - Regional Consideration Time. |
| Katie Butcher | 100m Backstroke - Regional Consideration Time. |
| Luke Brown | 50m Breaststroke - Regional Consideration Time. |
| Michaela Sheppard | 200m Backstroke - Regional Consideration Time. |
| Natalie Pidgeon |
200m Breaststoke - Regional Consideration Time. |
| Rachel Wrench |
200m Butterfly - Regional Consideration Time. |
Well done to all swimmers!
Newsflash
We need more licensed officials to run events and to complete behind the scenes roles. Why not start to train as an official? Its not as daunting as you think. Most of the training is done on pool side at a pace that suites you. Join a Judge 1 course to see what it is all about. Questions? Please ask Darren Hall or e-mail the club This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
