This morning saw our final pre-regional training session at LAC. Delighted to report that the sessions have been a great success, with excellent attendance throughout. Our swimmers really enjoyed the experience of training at the Aquatics Centre, making the most of such an iconic and inspiring venue.
A big thank you to our coaches – Jon, Sam, Ellie and Teddy – for their time and commitment. Thanks also to all the parents for their continued support during our training sessions up in Stratford.
Our young swimmers came a very impressive 2nd in R1 of this year's Kent Junior League and Ella S took gold in the 1500m at LAC
A fantastic opportunity for Alex J this week at the AP Race Breaststroke Clinic — learning from some of the very best in elite performance and race preparation!
