CoPA Swimmer Rhea Represents Great Britain

We are immensely proud of our swimmer Rhea who this month travelled to Belgrade, Serbia to represent Great Britain in technical and free team events at the Senior European Artistic Swimming Championships this week, coming home with a bronze medal!  Rhea has put in countless hours of training in Bristol over the past year as a full-time member of the GB artistic swimming squad.  Her dedication and hard work has paid off with Rhea being selected to swim in this international competition representing her country.  A video of Rhea’s swim with the team can be found below.

Congratulations Rhea!

Fabulous Results for CoPA at National Championships

CoPA had a wonderful weekend at the 2022 National Championships – the first National event for our junior and senior swimmers since 2019. After an especially long period of time out of the pool for our senior swimmers the results were especially impressive. This was the largest number of entries CoPA had entered for many years with multiple personal bests in a number of events, which was especially impressive when considering the exceptionally high volume of overall entries! Huge thanks go to Fiona and all the coaches for helping to prepare the swimmers ahead of the competition and to our club volunteers and judge Camilla who helped at the competition. Full results are detailed below.

CoPA Synchro Swimmers Power NW Beacon Success

It was a big day on Friday for CoPA’s synchro swimmers Chloe, Evie, Lola and Natasha as they took part in the synchro Beacon Games in Aldershot to represent the North West region.  The girls were part of the North West’s Beacon Squad – the first stage of the England Talent programme for younger swimmers – and the regional team also included swimmers from City of Salford and Stockport synchronised swimming clubs.

The girls worked incredibly well as a team and their efforts were rewarded as CoPA swimmer Evie took a bronze medal for her individual score in the 13-15 age group category.  The NW Beacon team also finished third overall with a score of 56.27, less than a point behind the overall winners, Walsall Beacon.

An outstanding effort and great result – well done to all our NW Beacon swimmers.
