CoPA Shine at the Nationals!
It was a successful weekend for CoPA at the ASA National Age Group Championships last weekend. 20 swimmers made the trip to Gloucester and achieved the following noteworthy results:

- Daisy & Leah also qualified to swim their duet in the 13-15 age category and finished 8th
- Rhea & Tilly swam their duet in the 15-18 age category and finished 7th
- The 12 and under “Little Monsters” combination team (Abby, Elizabeth, Emily, Eve, Evie, Immy, Natasha, Nema, Rachel and Sofia) swam an outstanding routine to finish an impressive 9th out of 26 teams. Many of these swimmers have only been with CoPA for less than 12 months!
- The 13-15 free team (Daisy, Izzy, Leah and Olivia) finished 11th
- The 19 & under combination team (Ana, Isabel, Olivia, Sophie, Rhea and Tilly) finished 2nd out of 17 to take a well deserved silver medal!
