Northumberland Swimmers at the Scottish Championships

Northumberland Sport would like to congratulate Leigh Thompson and Katie Wren from Tynedale Swimming Club on their success at the Scottish National Swimming Championships.

As both were English, the swimmers had to achieve the harder qualifying times and not just the consideration times, therefore entries were restricted to only the best of the best.

Christine Hall, coach said "it was a tough championship and at this level there are no guarantee's as both girls found out. You have to fight all the way. As a coach to have 2 swimmers at the championships and have 7 finalist swims and 3 medals with one being gold is so rewarding."
