The Warwickshire County Championships, currently held over the first three Saturdays in March, has yet again been held at the only 50 meter pool locally – Coventry’s historic Swimming Baths.

Dan Smith as always was an ambassador for the club, placing fourth in the 50 Free final, third in the two of the finals he reached – 50 Breaststroke and 100 Breaststroke, and second in the 200 Individual medley and the 50 Butterfly. Well done to Dan for all of his swims.

A special mention must also go to Lewis Carless, who came a commendable third place in the 10 year age group in the BAGCAT points.

Our Junior swimmers did an excellent job in the new age group relays – 10-12’s – and as most of the swimmers are still only 9 they will be able to compete in these relays for the next couple of years all being well!

All five girls – Ella Payne, Eleanor Elwell, Becky Gulliver, Trearna Hart and Catrise Hart – who swam in the Freestyle and Medley relays swam well, and enjoyed the experience.

The boys – Dylan Langston, Harvey Higgins, Lewis Carless and Ellison Hart – also swam well against older swimmers and will be back again to fight for a higher place next year.

Many thanks go to the parents of these swimmers for their help and support – it is very much appreciated.

Other swimmers at the Warwicks were Andrew Gulliver, Jamie Keyte, Jessica Deans.

A big well done to all of the Beeches swimmers who took part in this year’s Warwickshire County Championships – your behaviour was excellent, and you did yourself proud.
