Newport Pagnell Swimming Club – Report for Club Championships

A record number of entries for the championships saw the 41 girls and 32 boys produce 300 personal best times and break 7 club records. For the unfortunate there were 11 disqualifications.

The heroine of the weekend was Jennifer Dean who took 4 club records on her way to winning her age group. Jenny’s spoil included 50m butterfly in 32.27 sec, 100m backstroke in 1min 11.76sec, 100m freestyle in 1min 2.43 sec and 200m backstroke in 2 min 37.09 sec. Charlotte Errington broke the 100m individual medley record in a time of 1 min 13.08 sec. Douglas Holland broke the boys under 12 years 200m individual medley record with a 4 min 19.46 sec swim and Carl Harris took the 50m butterfly record with a time of 31.02 sec.

The age group winners, in ascending years, were Evie Butler, Marie Patrick, Lisa Patrick, Jenny Dean and Claire Evelyn for the girls and Stephen Willcox, Matthew Leydon, Carl Adamson, Carl Harris and Dean Tilley for the boys. Stephen was the only age group winner to be supreme in all four disciplines.

Trophy race winners for the girls were Danielle Beaman (2), Marie Patrick (4), Hannah Wilson (1), Lisa Patrick (3), Rosalind Bray (3), Charlotte Errington (2) and Jenny Dean (2). In the boys events the winners were Douglas Holland (2), Matthew Leydon (1), David Willcox (3), Carl Adamson (2), Paul Harvey (1), Daniel Heath (1), Carl Harris (3) and Dean Tilley (4). All of these will make for a busy presentation evening this coming weekend.

All of the younger swimmers achieved a personal best time in at least one discipline, far too many to name individually
