It was a successful weekend for CoPA swimmers who took part in the National Age Groups Championships at Gloucester this weekend.
Day 1 – A very successful day for CoPA at the Nationals on Friday with the recreational under 19s combination team (Ana, Tilly, Sophie, Olivia, Daisy, Rhea, Izzy and Leah) finishing a very impressive 4th out of 23 teams, narrowly missing the podium by only half a point behind Rushmoor.
Day 2 – After a very early start on Saturday, six CoPA swimmers took part in the various age group figure competitions. Sophie competed first and placed 91st. Daisy, Olivia and Natasha competed next with Daisy taking 3rd place (bronze) for her 12 and under figures, Natasha placing 59th and Olivia 75th. 127 swimmers competed in total. The final figure competition was Rhea and Tilly’s category with Rhea placing 47th and Tilly 68th. 77 swimmers competed. The final event of the day for CoPA was the 12 and under duet with Daisy and Olivia competing. They placed 15th.
Day 3 – The final day of the competition saw Daisy perform a beautiful solo for the 12 and under category and finish 7th overall. Rhea and Tilly also swam a fantastic duet, finishing 12th.
Following Daisy’s outstanding figures result, she has been invited as one of 10 hand picked swimmers to take part in trials for the England Development Squad next weekend at Crystal Palace. A great weekend’s swimming by all swimmers and special congratulations to Daisy for her superb achievements. CoPA is very proud!
