Another weekend, another Open Meet, this time it was the City of Bristol Level 3 Open with 17 Southwold swimmers making the journey to the 50m Hengrove Pool.
For Billy Boulton, Grace Burney, Thomas Burney, Cody Farrell, and Carolina Silva it was their first taste of a 50m long course competition and everyone swam well. Overall Southwold had another brilliant weekend with 50 Pb’s achieved and 47 top three medal placings.
The trio of Thea Stephens-Tuffee, Georgie Lloyd and Beth Cox stamped their authority on the girl’s races taking the first 3 places in both the 100m Breaststroke and 200m Backstroke and in the first 6 in two other events.
Beth Cox and Maria Jones continued their good form with 18 Gold, Silver or Bronze places between them, Beth Cox never being out of the top 3 in all her races.
Aidan Loughnane and Henry Bennett led the way for the boys with 7 and 12 medal placings respectively.
The weekend’s honours went to Henry who was rewarded for his 12 medal placings with joint Top Boy for the meet – well done.
Once again thank you to everyone who supported the swimmers at the weekend.
