Last weekend Perry Beeches SSS Masters took a team of 8 to Royal Leamington Spa to take on the best masters swimmers from around the midlands and England at the annual ASA Midlands Masters championships. The team of Jennifer Powell, Rebecca Smith, Angelika McDonald, Tara Leigh Thornton, Steve Dunn, Stuart Fuller, Ross Emery and Paul Bates, once again produced some great individual and team performances. From only 18 events that the Beeches swimmers entered they produced:
2 gold, 7 silver, 4 bronzes, plus 33 top 10 finishes from only 18 events, and 3 top 6 places in 3 relay team events entered.
The hard work the Beeches masters team have been putting in since the turn of the year with Masters coach Helen Pordage and Senior Coach Thomas Reader are really starting to show results. The future looks promising for the team’s forthcoming events. Upcoming events include the ASA Yorkshire Masters in May and ASA British Masters Long Course championships in Cardiff in June.
Anyone wishing to come and try masters swimming, can either pop along on Sunday afternoon at 3pm to Perry beeches pool for the masters session (everyone is welcome) or simply call Mandy Blizard on 07793 560698 for more details

The Picture above is sadly missing big Steve Dunn, who was nowhere to be found when the picture was being taken. We think he was shinning all his medals!
