More swimming news

Well done yet again to our swimmer Emma Calvert who competed in the National Downs Syndrome Swimming Championship on 24th July at Reading. She took part in 100m breast stroke and 200m breast stroke (8 lengths) and got Gold medals. Also 50m breast stroke which she won silver in and she won another two silvers for the relays. Emma swam quite fast and this is one of the last major races before Taiwan - she is proving she is more than ready, with just a little more hard work on her speed needed. Well done again Emma!

Well done to David Pendlebury for gaining a Pre Entry Agricultural Animals Programme certificate from Reaseheath College.
