Bazuka National Swimming Championships in Sheffield
Well done to Viv Locket, Jess Baker, Charlotte Ollis-Olds and Steph Carnel who competed in the Bazuka National Swimming Championships in
This time got them into the 'B' final where they battled to 7th place, one place better than they were seeded, the girls were very consistent and managed to get 1.04.14 in the final as well!
A special mention needs to go to Milly Ollis-Olds and Mady Parish who were reserves for the event and our representatives for the National Bazuka Division 5 Parade. In your smart T-shirts and wearing big smiles you made Chandag and Keynsham look GREAT!
It was a great weekend, even if we have never been that hot before. It all ran smoothly thanks to Helens planning (and yelling!). Thank you to all the support and everyone who made the trip up there the girls couldn’t have done it without you (this includes you as well Lynne), as always we were the loudest, especially Rory's 'clacker'.
Well done girls, you did us proud!
