After a chilly start, Sunday 7th April turned into a good day for the seven beeches swimmers who braved the elements.
Pride of place goes to Toby Nankervis who came first in the Tri Stars category.
Becky Gulliver came fourth in the same category. For both Becky and Toby it was their very first taste of competition in a Beeches cap! 
Next came the Tri Star 1’s – Sophia Deans came second and James Nankervis came sixth.
Jessica Deans followed her sister with a sixth place in the popular Tri Star 2 category.
Lastly Jessica Jones came third in the Tri Star 3 category, and Katie Gulliver came third in the youth category .

At the Warwickshire County Championships, three young swimmers – Pia Tonks, Sancha Tonks and Jessica Deans said to the Head Coach of Perry Beeches SSS, Dave Marsh – “if we all do a personal best time on the 50m Butterfly will you come into swimming dressed as a woman?” To which Dave replied “Yes”…….so here is Dave dressed as a woman – what a good sport Dave Marsh is.
Perry Beeches SC is celebrating securing swim21 accreditation for a second time – the national benchmark of excellence from the ASA, the national governing body involved in every element of swimming.
The club has achieved the swim21 award for Swimming at Teaching and Masters level.
Swim21 accreditation is the ASA’s ‘Quality Mark’ for clubs and the ASA’s way of ensuring every athlete – whatever their age or level of experience – belongs to a club that provides the best possible support and environment.
Specifically it’s about putting the swimmers first and ensuring young athletes are following the pathway the ASA recognises for training and competition (via the principles of Long Term Athlete Development).
Jennifer Powell, Perry Beeches Swim 21 Coordinator, said: “Working towards Swim 21 has been a challenging and really useful exercise for the Club. It has encouraged us to look at and improve our policies and practices and to focus on giving our swimmers the best possible experience.”
David Sparkes, the ASA’s Chief Execuive, said: “There is a great deal of hard work involved in getting swim21 accreditation and it is a real credit to the club’s committee and staff that they have managed to achieve such high standards. They are leading by example and deserve many congratulations.”
