Lets hear it for the girls 🙂
Jessica Deans, Jessica Jones and Katie Gulliver led the way for Beeches today, swimming at the COB open meet.
Out of seven swims on the day, there were five person bests – not bad from three girls!
Katie Gulliver reached the 100m Butterfly final, and won the second gold of her COB meet this year. Congratulations to Katie.
End of the first day for Beeches at the COB Open meet – Saturday – out of 14 swims we have had 9 PBs, three of those PBs were achieved in tonight’s finals.
Katie Gulliver and Jessica Jones got through to the 200 freestyle final. Gold went to Kate, with Jess claiming the silver medal.
Andrew Gulliver got the silver medal in the 50m Butterfly final.
Well done to all the Beeches swimmers who took part in today’s fun! Here’s looking forwards to the next couple of days!
The club will be closed on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
Open as normal for the rest of the school holidays.
Hope you all have a Happy Easter.
Are you aged between 9 and 14 on May 26th? Then why not have a go at the Stourbridge B grade. (Please get your entry forms back to Helen Pordage by March 28th).
This meet is designed to give an introduction for less experienced swimmers to the world of open meets. There are no lower cut off times and the upper times are designed to stop A grade swimmers entering to give the average club swimmer a chance of coming away with a trophy or medal.
The trophies or medals are for the top eight in each event and the top four in each age group in IM events and the winners of each event get a coveted Cut Glass Crystal Goblet. They are accepting on a first come basis so clubs and swimmers who get their entries in early will have no rejections. The only proviso is that they prefer all entries to have times if possible for ease of administration. Entries with no times will only be accepted if the meet is not full. Please note if the event is full and the number of swimmers exceeds the safe limit of the pool swimmers who have only entered one or possibly two events may have to be refused.
Entry forms available from the Stourbridge website:
