Congratulations to Keira and Hasna at the National Disability Championships

Congratulations must go to both Keira Shepherd and Hasna Hakim, who swam at the weekend at the National Open Short Course Disability Swimming Championships at Sheffield.

Hassie & Keira

For Hasna, she swam well considering she is still battling with an injured shoulder.

For Keira at her first major championships since her classification as an S8, she swam exceptionally well, winning two golds and one silver, with personal bests in her two individual events.

Keira said ‘Not a bad weekend at the Nationals! Two golds, one silver( I don’t mind coming second to a Paralympic swimmer Stephanie Slater!), and two official PB’s! Well done to Steph and all the swimmers there! We had one heck of a relay team Tully,  Fran and Megan! We did good girls!! … It’s easy to comment on a good competition but there’s a lot of hard training behind the scenes, if it wasn’t for some amazingly supportive friends, boyfriend and family I probably wouldn’t have got those PB’s!

A big well done to both girls for their swims in Sheffield.
