Two BSSC Masters recently competed at the 2024 Derbyshire Open Long Course Masters Championships.
Lizzie Bellinger (45/49 Yrs Age Group) had a one-two of amazing swims, swimming a 1:10.40 100m Butterfly and a 2:44.53 200m IM with no more than ten minutes rest between the two, earning herself two golds in the process.
Assistant head coach Joe Collins (25/29 Yrs Age Group) performed a true “splash & dash” going to swim the 50m Breaststroke and Freestyle, getting Gold in the breaststroke with 34.14 and just missing out on a podium finish in the freestyle, coming in 4th.
This was a great warm up event for Lizzie who competes this coming weekend in the 50m & 100m Butterfly and 200m IM at the British Masters Championships in Swansea. She’ll be joined by another BSSC Masters swimmer, Alyson Fordham (65/69 Yrs Age Group), who’ll be swimming 50m & 100m Freestyle, 50m & 100m Backstroke and the 50m Breaststroke.
