First Weekend of Regionals

Post date: May 28, 2013 12:14:43 PM

This weekend was the first of the South East Regional Age Group Championships with Didcot Barramundi represented by five swimmers: Alfie Baum (10), Freddie Wilkinson (11), Poppy Concannon (14), Ollie Beard (14) and Oliver Ripley (14). It's easy to forget what an achievement it is to just qualify for the Championships - the standard is extremely high and only the very best 15-20 swimmers

in the whole of the South East of England take part in any one event at each age group.

All our swimmers had very respectable results, and Freddie Wilkinson had particularly brilliant results winning bronze in the 400m IM and 200m Breaststroke events.

The remainder of the Championships will be held in two weeks on the 8th & 9th June. Good luck to all our competitors!
