Huge congratulations to our synchro swimmers Chloe & Marisa who have qualified for phase 3 of the England Youth trials! An intensive four day training camp now awaits them. Pictured here outside Hengrove Leisure centre in Brisol on day 1 of their trials!
Great work and good luck girls, CoPA are very proud of you.
We are pleased to announce the 2021 synchro summer camp, which will take place at Hutton between 23rd August and 26th August. This is an exciting opportunity for swimmers to receive additional coaching and refine skills in preparation for the new season of competitions and grades.
A big ‘well done’ to all our synchro athletes who practiced for the Level X Games this evening. The following swimmers have been chosen to represent CoPA in the forthcoming competition:
12 & Under: Amarah
Youth: Rachel
Junior: Natasha
Senior: Rhea
Good luck to these athletes as they go forward to compete in the Games on behalf of CoPA.
Please note the temporary land training times via Zoom during the Coronavirus pandemic as follows. These are subject to change at short notice as the situation develops.
As we are all excited for our return to the pools, we thought it would be appropriate to share a reminder of how CoPA as a club have been keeping active and practising our skills during the lockdown. CoPA have ably substituted the weekly land and pool sessions for ‘virtual’ online training sessions, led by Fiona, every single week since lockdown began. There have been 104 Zoom sessions to date! Well done to our swimmers who have shown their mettle in these trying times and worked every bit as hard during lockdown as they did in the water! In fact, as a result of these sessions there have been some very noticeable improvements in skill and stamina amongst our swimmers which we hope can now be put to good use in routines as we return to the pool.
Huge thanks go to Fiona for her time and dedication in keeping the club running at full pace during these difficult times. Everyone at CoPA greatly appreciates her efforts.
Some of CoPA’s lockdown highlights and swimmers’ improvements can be seen below.
