Young swimmers excel in nationals

THIS year is the first time that Chelmsford Swimming Club had entered the Junior National Swimming League.

And the club did exceptionally well coming second in the Junior National Swimming League Division Two (M11).

After winning the first two galas, they were just beaten by a very strong team from Camden Swiss Cottage in the gala held in Enfield. This meant that they finished second in the league, missing out on first place and promotion by just one point.

The competition is for swimmers aged between nine and 12, and for many swimmers was their first taste of a competition against teams from other areas.

Coach Karen Turner said: "We had another fantastic evening & all the swimmers gave 100 per cent. The final result was extremely close and we missed out on the top position by one point. We will be back next year aiming to go one better."

Pictured above are some of the club swimmers after their success.

The cub are currently looking for their next generation of local swimming stars so if anyone who would like a trial, contact info@chelmsfordswimmingclub.org.uk
