Blog 3101: Winter Nationals

This year Long Eaton were once again represented at Winter Nationals. This is a very high level meet with international swimmers such as World Champion Mollie Renshaw and Olympic finalist Ben Proud competing. So to have swimmers there is a major achievement for the club.

With DX electing to start their Long Course season early the club was represented by home based swimmers Adam Freundlich and Hannah Cox, both doing the 50 breast as Adam had to pull out of the 100 due to illness and Loughborough University based swimmer Kevin Wallbank. Kevin picked up a Bronze in the 100m fly and a silver in the medlay relay with Adam finishing 24th and missing out on a B final place by just .3 of a second and Hannah finishing in 27th doing a seasons best swim.

A massive well done to all those swimmers who qualified for this National event, hopefully you will be joined by more swimmers next year.,
