Eight BSSC Masters swimmers won medals in every event they entered at the recent Swim England Hertfordshire Masters Championships, bringing home an amazing 22 individual (20 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze) and 5 relay medals (4 Gold, 1 Silver). Regular competitors Joe Collins, Callum Davis, Alyson Fordham, Niamh James, Jake Lloyd and Sally Winter were joined by Geoff Short and Anel Zuniga-Daly and their superb combined performances resulted in BSSC being the third ranked club in Hertfordshire, an amazing performance for a team of just eight swimmers.
Callum Davis completed an individual clean sweep taking Gold in all five male events in his 18/24Yrs age group; Jake Lloyd was denied the same feat in the 25/29Yrs age group when he was pipped to Gold in the 50m Breaststroke by Joe Collins, but still came away with four Golds and 1 Silver medal; whilst Niamh James, Geoff Short and Sally Winter all won three Golds each. The relay teams were equally successful, resulting in four Gold and 1 Silver finishes.
Congratulations to all our swimmers and we look forward to even more Masters competing in these championships next year!
