Leander Swimmers get long distance County Qualifications

Posted on Tue 3rd Dec by

Coach Stephen Baker writes: The Wandsworth Borough long distance championships were held at the Rainbow Pool, Epsom on Sat 30th November. 6 swimmers represented the club in 800m and 1500m races, with 5 County times achieved and 1 Regional time.

County Times were achieved by:

  • Imogen Marcer (800m) 11min 23.10
  • Alexandra Roche (800m) 10min 41.13
  • Elle Wakefield (800m) 10min 26.0
  • Kasia Procter (800m) 10min 22.9
  • Reiss Ormonde-Cunningham (1500m) 17min 02.81

Sadly we missed a clean sweep with Joseph Metcalfe missing his 1500 time by a mere 5 seconds in 20min 07 –  so close over 1500m, bad luck Joseph!

This was a tough but enjoyable event and more are encouraged to take part in 2014 – well done all who competed.

The National Arena League Round 2 – Enfield

Posted on Mon 11th Nov by

Lorraine Colfer writes: A thrilling second round – coming in a very respectable second place.  The team faced some incredible competition, our main rivals were Southwark Aquatics which we beat into third place by a very narrow margin of 8 points.  Basildon & Phoenix were last night’s winners with a score of 365 points against our second place score of 293.  Once again, no DQs from our swimmers, which was excellent!

After all the drama, the results of the Rising stars gala are out. Well done everyone who went – we came back with lots of PBs, medals and some unique gala memories!

All was going “swimmingly” until the alarm went off. Repeatedly. Until the order to evacuate came and everyone filed out…into a thunderstorm!

You expect to get wet at a gala, but not like that! BSC handed out silver recovery blankets to shelter under…and pose in of course!
