| 2021 British Championship Qualifiers | The British Champs Qualifying Times have been published and we're thrilled to report that we have two qualifiers at the Club. James P qualified in the 50m free and the 100m back Ashley D qualified in the 50m free This event takes place in mid April and, in an Olympic year, also serve as the Olympic trials, so it really is a huge achievement for our small Club to produce qualifiers in this event. It should definitely serve as inspiration for all our younger swimmers too. Huge congratulations to the boys on their achievement. In these uncertain times, who knows whether the event will actually take place, but for the boys and for the Club, we can always say that they're Olympic trials qualifiers! |
