Regional Championship report and 48 national qualifiers announced!

Ian Pollock

This year’s East Midland Regional Championships spanned across April and May in a new and extended format that involved swimming across 5 separate days in 2 different venues. With heats and finals for all events of 400m and shorter, this provided some great opportunities for Repton Swimmers to make progress with their race skills in the arena.

Over the course of the 5 days, Repton secured 60 Gold, 34 Silver and 27 Bronze medals, which included some impressive age group relay success.

Many of the medallists listed below secured their first regional medals, illustrating the progress made with the support of the coaching team this year and as a result of some exceptionally hard work over the season.
