Well done to two swimmers from Southwold swimming club who achieved qualification for this year’s National championships. 15-year-old Georgie Locke and 17-year-old Jessica Shaw.
Jessica competed in the 50 Breast and 100 Backstroke in the GB Summer Championships and swam well enough in the 50 Breast to make the Finals but swam outside of her 100 backstroke entry time and missed out on the finals which was surprising and for her a little disappointing with this being her favourite event!
In the following ASA Summer Nationals Georgie swam in the 50m breast and Jessica swam the 100 Freestyle and the 200 Backstroke – This time Jessica qualified the second fastest in the 100 Free but missed out on a podium position in the final but swam the fastest qualifier in the 200 Backstroke with a good PB. This time she finished 3rd in the Final to pick up her first medal at this level of competition
