Blackpool Rocks - 25 and 26 May 2013

I forgot to mention that I managed to get a bronze medal in the 200 m butterfly at Blackpool Rocks.  I also got quite a few personal bests.

National Swimming Finals - Saturday, 15 June 2013


National Swimming Finals - by Mrs Gough

Our Year 6 Beardwood Bank swimmers reached the finals of the English Schools’ Competition which took place on Saturday, 15 June 2013. Up against stiff competition, our team put in a huge amount of effort and only missed out on the finals for the Medley Relay by 0.06 of a second! This made them really determined for the Freestyle Relay – where after the heats their time was the 10th fastest in the whole country!!!

Our team qualified for the ‘b’ final, where they finished in 4th place – narrowly missing out on 3rd by 0.01 of a second!

Taking our best times from the competition we are the 17th fastest for Medley relay in the country and 10th fastest for Freestyle Relay. Amazing considering the size of our school!

Well done to our swimmers: Emily Berry, Charlotte Cootes, Eloise Littlefair and Molly Robinson-Taylor.
