City of Ely Swimming Club swam to success this weekend, scooping up an impressive 120 medals across a team of 34 at the Cambridgeshire County Development Meet in Newmarket.
14 Year old Jake Dunham had a fantastic weekend securing 6 Golds and 7 Silvers with 10 Year old Lyra Schultz top of the game for the girls winning 4 Golds, 2 Silvers and 4 Bronzes. Going for Gold was high on Annabelle Smith and Mark Hipkins agenda for the weekend too.
Three swimmers also qualified for the Skins event winning cash prizes, the aim of this event is the fastest 6 swimmers draw from a hat the stroke they will race and it’s a battle until the last person is standing. It’s a nervous wait to see which stroke will be drawn and if it’s your worst or favourite to give you the best chance. Well done to Erin-Mae Carey, Jake Dunham and Mark Hipkin for qualifying with Mark staying in until the end finishing an impressive second place.
A small team of swimmers too fast to compete at County Development didn’t miss out on the action and travelled to Luton for the Putteridge Open Meet. Six of our top swimmers battled for personal best times and medals winning 38 between them.
Head Coach Elaine said ‘Excellent races at Luton and Newmarket with many swimmers achieving times to go onto the County Championships early next year’.
