Carys has taken (in the 12 year age group):

Well done to both – why not see how close you are to breaking a record by looking here.

A BIG Beeches well done goes to Helga Edstrom, one of our lovely ‘adult improvers’ from our Sunday sessions at Handsworth, who has today been named as a deserved recipient of an OBE in the New Year’s honours list.

Well done Helga from all at Perry Beeches swimming club 🙂

Dave Marsh was unveiled as the new Perry Beeches sss swimming club’s President at the Christmas Disco last Sunday.

Dave, who has been at the club for more years than he cares to remember (!) helps the club to run successfully in many different ways.

Pictured is Dave Marsh and the club’s chairman Mel Hart.

The winner of the Dave Marsh award for 2019 is – Becky Gulliver.

Dave Marsh bought the trophy, and it is awarded to the swimmer who has achieved the most qualifiers at the Warwickshire County Champs, the most finals at the Warwicks, the most qualifiers at the Midlands, the most finals at the Midlands, and National qualifiers too.

Becky is the second winner of the Dave Marsh Swimmer of the Year Trophy – Harvey Higgins won the trophy for 2018.

No swimmer can win the trophy more than once.

Congratulations go to Joel Harris and Rayen Guizani, who tied for the Boys Vernon Tonks Trophy, and to Molly Gibbons, who won the girls Vernon Tonks Trophy.

Vernon Tonks was a very successful junior coach, who had great success at Perry Beeches, who sadly passed away a few years ago. The trophies were bought by the club to remember Vernon, and are won by the races swum at the Christmas gala each year. They can only be won by Diddy age swimmers.
