Nottinghamshire County Championships 2020

RSC Nottinghamshire County Championships

35 young swimmers from our club entered the 2020 Nottinghamshire County Championships. The level 1, long course championship took place over three weekends at Harvey Haddon Sports Complex, Nottingham. Swimmers were required to have met qualification times set by Nottinghamshire ASA in order to enter an individual event.

Additionally, Retford entered relay teams with swimmer’s being selected based upon their personal best times by the coaching team. Face paints and club tattoos were sported and a fantastic team spirit was evident!

This year, B&B Tractors kindly agreed to sponsor keepsake t shirts for all qualifying swimmers- our warmest thanks to them for their support.
