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.
Technical Solo (out of 23):
- Rhea – 4th
- Natasha – 13th
Free Solo (out of 28):
- Rhea – 5th
- Marisa – 15th
- Leah – 22nd
Technical Duet (out of 12):

Free Duet (out of 18):
- Leah & Rhea – 6th
