COB Open Meet 2014 – Saturday

A great start to the Easter weekend today at the City of Birmingham Open meet. Pictured here are our 4 Butterfly finalists Jessica Jones, Katie Gulliver (in her first level 2 final at the COB), Andrew Gulliver and Jamie Keyte – along with their very proud Senior Coach Tom Reader. Jamie achieved 3 finals, also swimming in the 100IM and 100 back. Katie also swam in the level 2 100IM final. Also swimming today were Grace Morgan, Jessica Deans and Sophia Deans. A big well done to all swimmers.

WWL Round 3 – Well done to the Team

A big well done to ALL of the swimmers who took part in Sunday’s final round of the Winter Worcester League. A depleted team, due to holidays, rallied round and cheered each other on through the whole gala. A special mention to the 11/unders who came in as last minute substitutes – Harvey Higgins, who swam the 50 butterfly and 50 free, and Alfie Williams, who swam the 50 breast (both of whom are only 9 years old), and Hannah Lawrence – without whom the 11/under relays could not have taken place.

Full report to follow – awaiting the gala results from the league.
