GREAT SWIMS AT CLUB AND AWAY.
Pershore Swimming Club's monthly achievement junior trophy for April was presented to 11 year old Rhiannon Cordiner. In the recent club championships she competed well against the older girls recording two 2nd and five 3rd places and proved she is improving beyond expectation.
Also excelling in the recent Evesham Middle Schools Gala was Bethany Carter from the club. Beth swam the 25m Breaststroke in a time of 24.06 secs and won easily by nearly 10 metres. This superb victory helped her school of Bengeworth to 1st place over all in the annual Gala.
Five members of the club were asked by the Worcester Swimming Club to represent them in the Nuneaton Diddy League Gala last week as their 2nd claim club and recorded pb's in all their swims in a longer than normal 33metre length pool at Halesowen.
For the boys Harry Sykes in the 11/12 category put his heart and soul into his breaststroke and freestyle events with a 2 length time of 1min.06.80 and a 33m time of 37.36 breaststoke and 22.97 free.
Together with great relay swims from Joseph Doyle (26.63 free; 33.06 & 33.61 & 5th place in the back) and Jack Betteridge (37.36 breast; 27.40 and 27.44 free) for the 9 year olds helped accumulate points for the Worcester Club on the board.
Alison Seward in the 10 yr old girls and Tazmin Pugh for the 9 yr old girls swam recorded good swims. Alison swam in three relays her team finishing in 2nd and 3rd places recording 25.28 and 25.27 in her freestyle legs and 26.88 fly leg.
Tazmin swam in 3 relays where the team also comprising Jack and Joseph recorded a 1st where Tazmin swam a 23.55 freestyle leg, plus 3rd place. In the individual events Tazmin came home in 1st place in the fly in a time of 25.44 and 2nd in the backstroke in 27.93secs.
To decide the placings it was all on the last race between 3rd and 6th with Worcester eventually finishing 4th.
