15/O (Wycombe – 29 April -1 May) / 14/U (K2 Crawley 13 -14 & 27 – 28 May)
Three weekends of intense swimming took place for our 50 x City of Oxford Swimmer at the regional qualifiers of all age groups, racing against the best of the South East region! Tough competition out there as five of the clubs attending were also in the Arena League A & B finals a few months ago, meaning ranked top 15 in the country: Guildford, Thanet, Sevenoaks, City of Milton Keynes and of course the hosting club Wycombe & District Swimming Club.
Plenty of awesome swims from the whole team, with each and every swimmer raising to the occasion to clock strong long course PBs, also meaning for our most seasoned swimmers good chances to access the next stage of the season by qualifying for this summer’s national championships.
Over 80 finals were reached, 40 individual and relay medals were won: see breakdown below.
Once again, than you to our volunteers/team managers/officials, and of course to all our coaches who helped run this meet smoothly; couldn’t do it without you! Special thanks for Amanda Ford (AVSC) to help us out during the last weekend, as some of the coaching team had to be in Cardiff at the same time.
