South West Success at British Summer Championships

The 2018 British Summer Championships took place across six days at Ponds Forge in Sheffield from 24–29th July. The Championships continue to form part of a broader Performance Pathway Strategy aimed at increasing and supporting junior talent on the journey towards senior medal-winning performance, as well as offering more athletes across the home nations an opportunity to compete at one of the end of season events.

The South West clubs were represented across the board with a number of clubs attending.

Over the 6 days 246 south West swimmers made it into finals for their respective events with an impressive 29 1st placings, 24 2nd placings and 22 3rd placings making 75 top three finishes across the week.

Clubs with finalists included Millfield, Bath University, Plymouth Leander, City of Bristol, Truro City, Mount Kelly and many more.

It is a great achievement from all of the swimmers who have managed to gain places at British Championships well done to all individuals and their clubs.
