The City of Ely Swimming club recently enjoyed great success at the Swim England East Region Open Water Championships.
We came away with 2 National Age Group qualifiers, 3 Regional medals and 5 County medals. There was a family feel to it too with the Schultz father and son duo and the Pillow sisters all competing.
Alex Pashley and Jacob Schultz both qualified for the National Championships in the 2km race for their age group, with Alex winning the County silver medal and Jacob winning County bronze. Barry Schultz and Amy Sole both winning Regional gold and County gold in their age groups for the 2km race. Bella Pillow won a Regional bronze medal and County gold medal in her age group for the 2km race. William Clarke also competed in the 2km race, finishing 11th.
Phil Trelford won County gold for his age group in the 3km and Annabelle Smith competed in her first ever open water event, finishing 10th in the 3km race.
Maddie Pillow competed in her first open water event, overcoming some fears and finishing 8th in the 1km race.
Superb swims all round and we wish Alex and Jacob all the best as they go forward to the National Championships on 27th July at Rother Valley.
