Very successful London Winter Regional

Open Age Group 11+ yrs for 3 of our swimmers, Alex, Lilianna & Leah this weekend at the LAC Alex was 1st up in the 200 breaststroke slashing 8:11 sec off his PB. Alex was seeded 41st and placed 33rd out of 46 of those fast enough to qualify at this event. On Sunday Alex again smashed his 50m breaststroke PB by 2.15 sec seeded 86th and placed 55th. Next up was Lilianna who powered to a lifetime PB in the 50 breaststroke reducing her time by 1:60sec. Seeded 55th, placed 30th out of 79 of the fastest breaststroke swimmers in London. During both afternoon sessions, Leah competed in the 50 backstroke, 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Leah’s technical ability, power and super under water breakouts did her justice by winning all 3 events she entered. Improving her heat times in all finals. The last final being the 100 back, despite winning the 50 free only 10 mins prior. All 3 swimmers performed well off the back of an intensive week at Swim Camp. Well done swimmers, you all did us proud, proving that hard work, dedication and passion equals fantastic performances.

We are so proud of our LBHSC local instructors who have been supporting Oakland’s School disabled pupils, teaching them essential aquatic & lifesaving skills in a safe, stimulating environment.  Many important transferrable skills also being learnt and developed along the journey.  

We welcomed BeeZee Bodies, a dedicated team of nutritionists and behaviour change experts to our Free Community Water Safety/Swim Sessions (funded by Inspire Hounslow & The National Lottery Community Fund).
