There was a record amount of lost property left behind at the Saxon Crown Spring Challenge this year. A record number of clubs managed to contribute. As well as that a record number of swimmers competed from clubs all over London and surrounding Boroughs. It was a successful and smooth running event with many of our own swimmers achieving qualifying times in time to enter the London SE Regionals at the end of April.
Saxon Crown came a formidable second in round 1 of the Kent Junior League. Some of the top clubs in Kent were competing, our swimmers achieved some impressive times and lots of fun was had by all.
Saxon Crown lead the way at the White Horse League after round 1. We managed to squeeze our way past Bexley by 3 points. There were some great swims, pbs, regional times and amazing camaraderie. Keep it up team!
On Friday 14th March over 270 swimmers from twenty-seven of the Borough’s primary schools arrive at Glass Mill Leisure Centre to compete in this year’s Lewisham Primary School Gala. The event was organised by Saxon Crown Swimming Club, supported by Lewisham Council and GLL, who provided pool space and staff free of charge.
