Saturday 8th March saw the second week of this year’s Warwickshire County Championships at Coventry’s 50 meter pool.

Firstly we had the swimming, and Dan Smith added another silver medal to his collection, this time for the 50 Breaststroke.

The Open Men’s medley relay team had a little bit of a twist this week, with Tom Reader stepping up to do his first 50 Long course butterfly in 11 years. Jamie Keyte on backstroke, Dan Smith on Breaststroke, Tom Reader on the butterfly and Dom Blackwell on the free, the lads came fourth, but enjoyed every minute of it!

Then the presentations – Hasna Hakim accepted the award she had been given late last year, and Paul Bates was crowned Warwickshire Swimmer of the year 2014 – well done to both of them.

Warwicks week 1 – A big hearty well done to Dan Smith who finalled 3 times on the day, and won two silver medals, for the 100 breast and 50 free.

Also – we have to mention the bravery of our young boy swimmers in the 9/10 50 medley relay.

Alfie Williams, Vinaye Gaddu, Harvey Higgins and Dilshan Bamanuvitharana swam for the first time in their life in Coventry’s 50 meter pool – and enjoyed the experience.

Well done to all swimmers on the day, and good luck to all swimmers taking part next Saturday in week 2.
