South East Region Championships 2007
Two of our younger swimmers attended the Bagcat Championships covering the first 2 weekends in June. Callum Tierney and Courtney Dos Santos represented Bletchley in the 100 & 200 Frontcrawl, and the 100 & 200 Breastroke events.
This was a fantastic achievement for the boys to qualify for these events and they both swam really well, gaining personal best times over these long course events. Our Congratulations go to both of them and we look forward to them continuing to work hard and to represent the club again next year.
Well done to all four of these guys, first swimmers to represent Bletchley at this Regional level and we hope to see them all representing us again next year with some other swimmers too, maybe some girls?
