Golden trip to Bognor

A small cluster of 1066 swimmers descended on Bognor to compete in the 50m Sprints Meet and came away with a bag load of medals. The Meet consists only of 50m sprints in all four disciplines plus the 100 Individual Medley.

The morning session saw Joshua Bishop capture 4 golds in the backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke and the 100 IM, all in much improved times. 1066's success continued when young hopeful Lucy Puddefoot claimed gold in the freestyle, a well deserved silver in the backstroke and a bronze in the 100 IM, once again all personal best times.

More gold for the local swimming club when Harry Crotty recorded a pb in the breaststroke to be ahead of the field. Clocking life time best in all his swims Ben Coles took silver in the IM and two bronzes in the backstroke and freestyle. Joining in the silver haul was Jean-Jaques Choron in the breaststroke and then a bronze in the 100 IM followed by Robert Barnett who claimed silver in the backstroke. Though without a medal Chloe Baker logged vast improvements especially in the backstroke, the 100 IM and the breaststroke. Most satisfying was the 23pbs set out of 33 swims for the morning session. 

The afternoon brought more golds for 1066 when Johanna Welford bagged a hat trick of golds in the freestyle, butterfly and the IM and with a silver in the backstroke it was a good Meet for the young talent. Hot on her heels was her sister Catherine who notched up golds in the butterfly and 100 IM and took silver in the backstroke. Henri Choron bettered his breaststroke time to land silver to round off a successful Meet for 1066's improving swimmers.
