Summer Champs 2012
It’s that time of year again when we turn our attention to the Club’s Summer Championships. One of the two most important Club events of the year.Sorry for the late notice on this but we have had some of our galas rescheduled so we have not been able to confirm dates until now.
Entry forms will be available poolside on Sunday evening or can be downloaded here.
As always there is an entry fee of £2 for all events except the 100m IM, which is free to enter for all swimmers.
All swimmers are strongly encouraged to enter all events as competition is a very big part of their development of a competitive swimmer. Your coach will need to know which events you are not entering
Full details of this years event can be found here.
Halstead Gala 15th Apr 2012
Lauren Baker performed brilliantly during the recent Halstead Open gala to take the award for best girl. Her 10 events resulted in 3 golds, 3 silvers, 3 bronze medals and a fourth place as well as recording a new personal best in the 200m Freestyle.Lauren was one of 27 swimmers from Witham Dolphins to compete at the Halstead gala with nearly all recording at least one personal best. Abby Colton and Emily Easton came away with 4 gold medals each and medals in the other 2 of their 6 events. Lauren Colton also came awaywith medals in all of her six events and Micky Gore scored gold in the 50m breast stroke despite suffering a heavy cold.
For the boys Callum Marley was the star with two first places out of his 4 events and set personal bests in both the 100m and 50m butterfly events. The PB for the 100m event was all the more remarkable as he set PBs in this event only 2 weeks earlier in both the heats and the final of the Essex Championship. Josh Fowles also came home with gold in the 200m freestyle and Cameron Brown won 3 silvers with new best times in the 50 Butterfly and 100 Freestyle events. Of the less experienced Dolphins competitors, Annie Fynn stood out with an excellent 2nd place in the 50m Butterfly and personal bests in all but one of her six events. Connie Slater also had an excellent day with four personal bests out of four events with a very creditable 5th in the 50m breaststroke and 6th place in the 50m butterfly. Mollie Wilson and Beth Bentley recorded 3 PB’s out of three events.
