Devon County Championships (final weekend)

Sarah Winter
Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th February saw the final weekend of the Devon County Championships. It did not disappoint for BSC. 8 Brixham Marlins competed over the 2 days ( John, Aela, Eva, Scarlett, Austin, Bradley, Frankie & Owen). Competition was high & each swimmer rose to the challenge, showing grit & determination and lots of PB's!
Finalists were:
Scarlett 100m backstroke (8th)
Aela 50m butterfly (7th)
Eva 100m backstroke (6th) 50m freestyle (5th)
Frankie 100m breaststroke (8th)
A bronze medal to John in the 100m breaststroke final was the perfect way to end the championships! Congratulations John!
Many thanks to our Coaches, Team Managers & parents for giving up their time to support our young swimmers. A special mention & big thank you to Al Farquharson for officiating during the championships. Officials are all unpaid volunteers & the unsung heroes of all swimming meets. Without them none of these events would go ahead.
Well done Brixham Marlins and bring on the Interclub Gala at the end of the month!
