The 2023 Swim Wales Masters Long Course Championships were held the weekend after St David’s Day at the Wales National Pool in Swansea, and regular BSSC competitor Lizzie Bellinger was in Golden form beating two Swim England East Region records that had stood since 2016. Competing in the 45-49yr old age group for the first time she took Gold in the 200m IM (2:42.50 East Region record), Gold in the 50m Fly (31.01) and Silver in the 100m Freestyle (1:05.20 East Region record). Lizzie unfortunately had to withdraw from the 100m Fly due to illness, but this was a great golden start to the 2023 season.
