Three Bristol Henleaze swimmers entered the Gloucester City Open Meet back in June, Curtis O’Connor, Courtney O’Connor and Molly Huckle. The weekend was long and exhausting Courtney obtained 8 PB’s with a 26PB in her 100IM, well done Courtney. Molly achieved 3 PB’s and three well deserved medals in her 50 back, 50 free and 100IM, well done Molly. Curtis entered a staggering 13 events (oops my fault) and managed to walk away with 13 medals, a gold in 50 free, silver in 50 fly, and bronzes in 400 free, 100 free and 50 breast. He also managed to obtain best 14 year old of the weekend and received a trophy for this. Congratulations to these swimers from all at BHSC. |

Two Bristol Henleaze swimmers qualified for this year’s national championships and represented City of Bristol at Ponds Forge, Sheffield. It is an excellent achievement to get a national qualifying time and both of our swimmers reached the mark in no less than five events which is outstanding. Abi Bowring (12) swam in the age group championships and her events were 100m and 200m backstroke, 200m breaststroke and 200m and 400m individual medley. Abi did PB’s in three events and made two finals. She was fifth in the 200m IM final and 6th in the 200m breaststroke final. Abi showed great character in both finals and improved her time and placing from the heats. In the 400m IM she was 11th so just missed out on a (ten lane) final place. As first reserve for a final the swimmer has to warm up and prepare for the race as normal and report to the call rooms usually to find everyone has turned up and they don’t get a swim – more stressful than swimming the event!. Rebecca Guy (17) swam in the youth championships and her events were 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle and 200m and 400m individual medley. Rebecca also did PB’s in three events and made the semi final in the 100m freestyle only to be placed 11th so missed out on a final place. In the heats for the 50m freestyle she swam a PB to be fastest qualifier out of 136 swimmers, this was followed by 2nd place in the semi finals and in a closely fought final she did another PB (26.36 seconds) and won the gold and was crowned national champion. Bristol Henleaze has never had a national champion and it is indeed a long time since Bristol had a national champion so quite a day! Congratulations to both swimmers on their magnificent achievements. |
