Sevenoaks Swimmers Achieve Success at National Championships - 03-08-2009Congratulations to Natasha Hickey and Xander Alari-Williams who have just returned from competing in the National Youth Championships held in Ponds Forge, Sheffield
Natasha had qualified in 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle, and Xander in 100m and 200m breaststroke and both had worked hard and focused well in the weeks up to the championships, determined to give of their best. Both swimmers achieved new personal best times, with Natasha's strongest swim in the 50m freestyle on the final morning of the Championships. Double Medal Winner! Xander, who had competed in both events at the British Championships in March, also achieved impressive PBs in the heats, while his time in the 100m breaststroke in the semi-final of 1 min 04.70 ranks him first in Great Britain in the event! (This time also converts to an very impressive 1.02.70 in a short course 25m pool!) In two very exciting and close finals, he won bronze medals, making him Sevenoaks Swimming Club's first National Medal winner! He was also the only swimmer to medal in both the breaststroke events while his time in 200m ranks him second in Britain.
Very well done to both Xander and Natasha on representing Sevenoaks Swimming Club at this level. more news articles... |  NoticeboardSunday, 5th Feb Training: The Sennocke Centre is open so all training is on, although there is no dry land session for Silver There will be no swimming at Combe Bank on Monday 13th Feb due to half term.  |
