Three swimmers from Grantham - Francesca Hallam-Stott, Grace Turner and Emily Parkins- enjoyed the session with the best swimmers from Lincolnshire during the County Talent Camp.
Well done!
One of best performers in this round, some great swims were delivered by Chloe Daybell. Chloe came first in 50 breastroke and 200 IM (nearly 3 seconds personal best) achieving new 2 Midland times.
Callum Melville showed that pressure only makes him faster! In 50 and 100 breastroke Callum comfortably advanced to the 11/13 years finals, with new personal best times.
Iona Colbert is one step closer to becoming a British Summer Championships qualifier. Iona broke County records in 50 and 100 backstroke achieving very respectful personal best times
In Cambridge some swimmers were trying to qualify for Midland Championships. Chloe Daybell, after an exceptional race in 400 IM (over 9 seconds personal best and 4th fastest time in County) and 200 breastroke (also 4th fastest time in County) Chloe achieved, for the first time ever, Midland qualification times
The GSC/LVSC Meet Is Full.
Callum Melville used the Grand Prix as the final test before the Scottish National Championships and he surely passed the test exceptionally well!
Although the swimmers did not get any more Midland times under their belt, they still showed great standards of swimming.
Connie Philips again showed some great talent and excellent racing skills. In 50 butterfly Connie smashed her old personal best time, just missing out on a club record, and moved up to the fourth place in the British ranking.
Connie Philips and Mia Ellis both travelled to the Leicester Age Group Meet to swim 400 free.
Molly was the only swimmer from Grantham who decided to swim in the British Championships in Edinburgh. Molly swam only one race and showed great ability to swim well under the considerable stress of the British Championship meet
After a very successful Counties we already have a record 26 swimmers who have qualified for the 2018 Midland Championships. This exceeds the target for this year by one swimmer.
Callum Melville and Connie Phillips are your junior club captains for 2018.
After succesful County Championships three very talented swimmers from Grantham have been selected to the County Talent Pathway Programme.
