Storming County Development Championships
34 Swimmers from St Ives SC competed at Whittlesey Pool on 23 & 24 April against the other Cambridgeshire Swim Clubs at the County's annual development meet for new and emerging swimmers, and a few more seasoned athletes too. The St Ives Aquanauts performed exceptionally exceeding all expectations and attaining a host of medals in the process too.
To begin with both Keira and Felix qualified for the 'Skins' sprint final where the top 6 fastest male and female athletes from the 100 Individual Medley, battle it out in 50 metre randomly chosen stroke sprints until only 1 remains as winner, Felix swam superbly and finished 4th, Keira battled exceptionally well against other County Club swimmers to emerge supreme as the Female skins sprint champion 2022, a great feat by her and both St Ives athletes.
Great swims & Lifetime best results were also attained by Jack Ballester, Owen Dollard, Lauren Bailey, Maisy Walpole, Edie Lewis, Milly Lewis and Abigail Zajkowski with many of these swimmers finishing in the top 6 placings too. Exceptional results as for many this was their first ever swimming competition and they dug deep, held their nerve and raced magnificently. A superb weekend of competition for all who represented St Ives SC.
