These championships were held over two weekends in March : the first on 8th/9th March at Liverpool and the second on 15th/16th March at Manchester Aquatics. The club was represented by a contingent of 23 swimmers, our highest to date. The first weekend was the quieter of the two for us, being the 'distance' weekend, but we had swimmers in all events except the 800 and 1500 free. There were plenty of solid swims and pb's. Podium finishes are extremely hard to come by in these championships. Unfortunately we didn't manage any in the first weekend but there were ten top 10 places which was a great achievement. The second weekend saw the swimmers come into their own. A total of 26 top 10 places were achieved, an average of almost 2 per event which is fantastic for a relatively small club. This time there were 7 podium finishes, a huge well done to the swimmers below: Gold - Tom Gibbs (50 fly and 100 fly) Silver - Isaac Brennand (50 breast) Bronze - Anna Doughty (50 breast and 50 fly) Alex Highcock (50 breast) Special mention also goes to Chloe Cottam who achieved three more regional qualifying times (200IM, 400IM and 200 free ) to add to the 5 she already has! and to Jack Hardman who achieved his first ever regional qualifying time in the 100 free. Well done! A great two weekends' work by all our swimmers who did the club proud. See below for our swimmers' report. Full results can be viewed on the Lancs county swimming website.
