It was an amazing weekend for the Perry Beeches sss swimmers who took part in the first weekend at the Warwickshire County Championships at Coventry’s 50m pool.

First with success was Carys Higgins, who came second in the 11/unders 200 Breaststroke.

Then, the boys medley and freestyle relay teams of Joel Harris, Callum Gibbons, Vashon St Rose, Harry McGovern, Billy Martin, Mason Carless, Jacob Dunn, Daniel Johnson and Metin Ulukus – many of whom came to swim and support the team, whilst gaining useful 50m swimming experience.

Carys then went on to reach the finals of the 50 Backstroke, coming 8^th in the final.

Catrise Hart and Becky Gulliver also made the final for their age group of the 50 Backstroke – Catrise coming 3^rd and Becky 4^th.

Harvey Higgins won the 50 Butterfly for the 13/unders.

Then onto the 100 Back for Boys – Lewis made the final and came 6^th, and Jamie Keyte came 7^th.

Harvey also made the final of the 200 IM – and won this too for the 13/under category.

Onto Sunday’s races and the girls 100 freestyle, Carys and Becky both reached the finals in their age groups, and both came 6^th in their respective finals.

Then onto the girl’s 50 freestyle. Again Carys and Becky made the finals in their age groups, this time Carys came 6^th and Becky came 5^th in their age groups.

Becky then went onto swim in the girls 400 freestyle, coming 3^rd in the 13/under category.

Harvey then swam the 50 and 100 Breaststroke making the finals for both events. Harvey came 3^rd in the 50 Breast and 2^nd in the 100 Breast.

Perhaps Harvey was saving himself for the 200 Freestyle, where he cruised home to an easy win! Jamie also made the final coming an admirable 4^th place in his age group.

Carys, not wanting to be outdone by Big Brother, went onto win the 11/under girls 100 Butterfly in the final. Becky also made the 13/under final, coming 7^th.

Catrise and Becky finished the day off in the 200 Backstroke final – Catrise coming 2^nd and Becky 7^th in the 13/unders final.

Well done to everyone who took part – all events have to be qualified for, meaning they have all worked really hard to get there in the first place. Special thanks to the relay swimmers too.

Here’s looking forwards to the second half of the Warwicks this coming weekend…….
