SE London Summer Champs 2022
02 May 2022
The last weekend of April was busy with not only the White Horse League but also the second and last part of summer regional youth championship at the LAC.
First up was Erin competing in one of the most difficult races in the program, the girls 400 IM in which she managed to achieve a well placed 7th.
Straight after that it was time for the boys and girls Freestyle relays. Alfie, Callum, Teddy and James were in very high spirits, which didn’t go unnoticed by nearby officials (in a good way!), and swam to impress, beating their short course PB and finishing 12th. Also the girls, Amy, Alexa, Klippa and Erin finished a respectable 12th despite missing their heat. Fortunately, the referee kindly included our team in the older age group heat so they didn’t miss out on the race.
Day 2, Sunday, with an early start. First up was James knocking off half a second off his short course PB time for 50 back as well as Ellie compared to her converted time. Also, 100 Breast was well represented with Klippa swimming a 2 sec improvement compared to her entry time with a 6th place in the final and Erin improving her performance finishing 10th after a well-deserved good night sleep.
Another great PB was achieved by James in the 400 free before opening the boy’s medley relay event with a 1.5 sec PB compared to previous day. More PB’s followed with Callum beating his short course PB, Alfie smashing his own and Teddy (and his dodgy leg) touching in under a minute and achieving a well-earned 14th place.
On time for their medley race this time, the girls were even earlier at the finishing line with Alex achieving her first ever long course Back PB (congratulations), Erin back to form swimming her breast leg two seconds faster than the previous day, Amy (and her perfect tan paying off her 3 weeks’ holiday) looking good in the first 50 with a long course PB, Klippa's two second improvement and the great overall effort was rewarded with a tenth place.
Day 3, last session for Saxon swimmers, were a 1 second PB for James in the 100 Free and a 12th place in the most competitive event in swimming, 100 Free. A considerable improvement in Marlena's performance in her 200 Fly. A 10th and 11th as well as PB’s for Klippa and Erin in 50 Breast. An improvement also for James and Callum in the same race.
We then concluded a long but satisfying weekend with a well-deserved relaxing lunch at Westfield. As ever, thanks to everybody for their support and well done swimmers!
