We are proud to have 23 members of Repton Swimming Club qualified and competing at the Aquatics GB Championships 2024. These championships will act as the qualification meet for this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris. The Aquatics GB Championships will take place at the London Aquatics Centre, home of the 2012 Olympic Games, from Tuesday 2nd April to Sunday 7th April 2024.
Taking part in a range of events, and in all strokes and distances from 50m to 1500m, the club members competing from Repton Swimming are; Annabel Crees, Austyn Manley, Cameron Jamieson, Connie Palmer, Ellie Broughton, Eva Okaro, Hannah Capron, Hannah Hodgkiss, Harriet Oxley, Holly Marshall, Holly Robinson, Izabella Okaro, Jessica Smelt, Jude Denning, Laurie Devine, Leo Pollock, Lydia Cordle, Mabli Collyer, Maddie Emment, Megan Neave and Will Tonks (representing Boldmere).
Two of our ‘Distance Members, who live and train overseas, will also represent Repton Swimming. These are Rafae Shafi (Tufts University) and Oscar Bilbao (Hamilton Aquatics) who both were previously coached by our Director of Swimming Ash Morris.
The majority of our swimmers who have qualified attend Repton School, with Lydia Cordle (Year 8) attending Repton Prep School. Jude Denning, Megan Neave and Will Tonks are all members of our club programme.
As this is a Senior Championships, many of our young swimmers will be competing against the best older swimmers in Great Britain. Open A & B Finals, Para Finals and Junior Finals will be the target for many of our young swimmers, as these Championships will act as the selection trials for all Junior and Senior teams for International Competitions in 2024.
Director of Swimming Ash Morris commented: “Our swimmers have worked really hard and have committed to this training cycle to achieve their goals. It is now time to go and enjoy what will be a very special week and occasion - British Champs’ in an Olympic year, is always very inspiring”.
