A Massive Beeches Well Done to two of our own committee members, who both yesterday swam the Great East Swim 1 Mile 2015.

Jenny who was the 2nd female in her age group (7th overall in her age group)  with an amazing time of 25:57, and Liz did a very impressive 3 minute personal best time! Well done to both ladies – you did us proud.

Perry Beeches SSS swimmers made the short journey to Tamworth last Saturday for the second round of this year’s Mercian League. The swimmers had an enjoyable night, with twelve personal best times achieved.

Six first places on the night went to Penny Whittingham (100 I.M. and 100 Butterfly), The girls 10 year old’s in both the Freestyle and Medley relays (Sophia Deans, Becky Gulliver, Catrise Hart and Trearna Hart), Sophia Deans (50m Freestyle), and Becky Gulliver (25m Butterfly).

With twenty ‘Top 3’ finishers on the night, the coaches should be proud of their swimmers performances. A big Beeches well done to all who took part.
