Daisy Takes Silver at Beacon Games!

An outstanding result for CoPA swimmer Daisy as she finished 2nd to take silver in figures at the first ever synchro Beacon Games in Bristol this weekend.  The competition is open to swimmers from the regional beacon programmes as well as the England Development Squad.  Five England Development Squad members competed in the games and Daisy finished ahead of three of those to place fourth overall.  With the EDS members excluded for beacon results, Daisy ranked 2nd.

A brilliant result well deserved for Daisy, and another proud result for CoPA.
