After a year away, the Swim England National Winter Championships returned to Sheffield’s Ponds Forge in December 2021. The 2021 event was the largest Winter Championships in recent history, with more than 1,600 swimmers competing across the three days. Six local BSSC members and two overseas BSSC members qualified for a total of 28 events.
With just two age categories (Open and 16 Yrs/Under), competition was fierce but the whole squad had a successful return to National level competition with many personal best times and good progression. William Godsell was 9th in the 16 Yrs/Under 50m Breaststroke final and our youngest two competitors, Kirsty Neill and Toby Godsell, racing in their first National competition achieved PBs and multiple top eight finishes for their age group.
BSSC members: Alex Catton, Callum Davis, Kirsty Neill, Millie Fields, Niamh James, Sami Zemzami
BSSC Overseas: Toby Godsell, William Godsell
