We’d also like to congratulate all our swimmers who have been invited to compete at the Swim England Summer Nationals in early August at Ponds Forge, Sheffield. After the top 24 in each event/age group are invited to the British Summer championships, the next 20 fastest swimmers are invited to compete at one of the home nation summer competitions! It’s a great achievement to get this invite and we look forward to watching them compete.
HUGE congratulations to all our swimmers who have been invited to compete at the British Swimming Summer Championships in Sheffield at the end of July. The top 24 in Britain are invited for each event/age group, so this is an achievement to be celebrated!
Despite 2021 being yet another year of extremely restricted training and limited competition opportunities, three BSSC Masters have been named in the recently released 2021 FINA World Masters Top 10 Short Course (25m) Rankings. Elizabeth Bellinger (40-44yrs), Sally Winter (60-64yrs) and Alyson Fordham (65-69yrs) all secured multiple world top 10 finishes in their age groups. Sally and Alyson also still feature on the FINA All Time top 10 rankings in their age groups, with Sally having the 9th and 10th fastest ever 200m freestyle swims (short course and long course respectively) and Alyson holding the 8th fastest short course 100m freestyle swim.
