What a fantastic end to a brilliant @swimenglandnorthwest Regionals campaign!  This (final) weekend was the 15 and over age groups.
We had a great spread of events from the short and sharp 50s through to the 400 IM and every single one of our swimmers smashed out a worthy swim: as Coaches it was great to see the swimmers step up to the big occasion!

Open 400 IM - Sam 11th PB, Thomas 10th PB
Open 100 Free - Simon 24th, Coach Ash 🥈in the final
Open 200 Breast - Thomas 14th PB
Female 200 Back - Hannah 15th PB, Wendy 12th
Female 200 IM - Emily 16th PB
Open 50 Free - Simon 14th PB, Coach Ash 3rd into the final (final result tbc)
Female 50 Back - Hannah 9th PB, Wendy 17th PB
Female 200 Free - Emily 13th
Open 100 Back - James 18th
We had an exciting end to the day with a swim off for Hannah in the 50 Back; After a fantastic start and under water, the girls were neck and neck with the Wigan Best swimmer just taking the touch 🙌 leaving Hannah with another PB to finish the racing.  Well done to both girls!
 
 
The Sunday swimmers turned up with their best positive mindsets, knew their race plans and stepped up for some excellent swims!
During what was a long day, their support for each other was unwavering, with everyone contributing to the positive vibe on the poolside. They also were a fantastic support to Coach Kate who was being assessed for her Level 3 course 🤞
 
💛 First up was Emily in the 400 IM who had not been feeling 100% yesterday.  In true Emily style she pushed as hard as she could for a very solid 12th. 💪
💙 Next it was Max, who even though he’s given up swimming and has been in the pool 3 times since early October, he had decided he fancied getting back in for a 50 Breast! It was lovely to have him back on the poolside with us and he swam a truly excellent first 35m, just fading in the last 15m for 18th. 🙌
💛 Next up was Hannah with another PB in the 50 Fly with a technically really well executed swim for 16th 🫶
💙 Thomas had another strong swim in the 200 IM for another PB (3rd of the weekend) and 15th place 🙌
💛 Hannah was back in action for the 100 Back, finishing in 14th place with yet another PB swim 💪
💙 Wendy swiftly followed Hannah in the 100 Back with a strong seasons best, qualifying for the open age final. After listening to her feedback, Wendy stepped up to race a close finish with a confident 7️⃣th in the final 🙌
💛 Thomas had a fantastic 100 Breast with another PB, building on the feedback from yesterday for 20th.💪
💙In the 400 Free Megan swam with determination and purpose, taking the lead in her heat to set her intentions. In a seasons best swim, Megan finished in 11th place 🫶
💛Also in the 400 Free Emily swam a really well paced swim; particularly as we weren’t sure what she had left in the tank.  Coming in on PB and finishing in style; Emily took a well deserved 7️⃣th place 💪
