BSSC Masters swimmers Lizzie Bellinger and Alyson Fordham had outstanding performances at the recent British Masters Championships, bringing home five gold and three silver medals and a new East Region records.
Lizzie (45-49 yrs), the current age group British record holder, obliterated the field in the 100m Fly winning nearly 14 seconds ahead of her closest rival (1:10.36) and broke the East Region record taking silver in the 200m IM (2:41.73). She also won Gold in the 50m Fly (30.67 seconds).
Alyson Fordham (65-69 yrs), already the age group European Record holder in both the 50 and 100m Freestyle, easily won gold in both events (50m 30.62 & 100m 1:10.51) and added gold in the 100m Backstroke (1:24.15, new East Region record) and silver in both the 50m Backstroke (39.30) and 50m Breaststroke (42.79) to her haul.
Congratulations to them both on their achievements that continue to inspire our younger swimmers.
