Swimming Success!

Swimming Success!

Georgie M. and Matilda R. travelled to Cardiff at the start of the month for the 19th National Arena League B Final as part of the City of Cambridge swimming team. It was a huge achievement to even qualify through a very competitive East Midlands league.

Both girls were determined to put on a performance that would do the club and themselves proud. The team started off with some superb swims including first place in the U14 4 x 50m medley relay with Georgie swimming a fantastic 50m breaststroke leg, taking the girls into first place - which was then increased by Matilda on the butterfly leg.

Matilda came 2nd in the U14 100m butterfly individual race with a huge 2 second personal best taking her ASA ranking to 8th in readiness for the opening of the National qualifying window.

The team, who had qualified in 8th place, were supported by a loud and enthusiastic group of supporters. The team ended up with a fantastic overall fifth place finish! Well done Matilda and Georgie!
