October 19, 2017 By William Shorter

City fly through the water for a great start to the 2017/2018 season.

City of Oxford hosted the first of their 7 Development Meets for the 2017/2018 season at the Leys Pool Leisure Center on Sunday 15th October, allowing the young (ages 8 to 15) swimmers to start getting times in their first events and push for potential times for the Oxon & Noth Bucks County Championships in 2018.

Joining the City of Oxford Swimming Club at this short course (25m pool) event were swimmers from Abingdon & Vale Swimming Club, Banbury Swimming Club, Four Shires Swimming Club, Wantage White Horses Swimming Club and Witney Swimming Club for three and half hours of tantalizing competitive swimming over 8 events. With all these swimmers and supporters at the poolside, the atmosphere was loud, buoyant and exciting throughout.

Fast swims were seen throughout as the swimmers showed their coaches and parents their skills they’ve been honing during training and put them to the test. Resulting in Oxford girls getting thirteen 1ST places of which seven came from the 100m and 50m Butterfly events. Leading the way were swimmers Eleni Ioannou (10), Ellen Tranter (12) & Panqain Ashton (13), who pushed hard through the water and achieved two first places in the three events they had entered.

Academy & Rising Stars Coach Liz Basterfiled – “It was great to have so many new and existing swimmers in the pool, if they remember the feedback they were given after each race and focus on this in their training. We are going to see plenty of PB’s at Development Meet 2 in November.”

Another one! Brilliant from @RossMurdoch_ @UofSSwim , he finishes 2nd in the 200m breaststroke but more importantly, his time of 2:08.98 is inside the consideration time for Tokyo 🎉. A big effort too from @TMackayChampion he completes his race in 2:22.00. #BSST21
