A sensational start for our DRSA swimmers. As the first day ends we bring back gold and bronze. Well done to all our swimmers for their gallant efforts: Sam and Finlay Bowden, Dan Crook, Rachel Ward, Brittany O’Reilly, Livvy Nel-Barker and Rhiannon Davies.
The highlight of the day was the Girls 10 years breaststroke race. All 3 of our swimmers stormed through to the 6 lane final. What a line up!!! Devonport Royal hosting 3 swimmers, the rest of Devon’s elite clubs only a further collective 3 swimmers. Dominating the race, Brittany brought home the gold with Rhiannon and Livvy smashing their personal bests to take 4th + 5th.
Dan Crook ensured that the boys also brought back a podium finish in the Boys 13years 100IM race. His bronze medal came courtesy of some superbly dynamic swimming in this medley event. Ten year old Finlay Bowden also gave everything in his highly competitive 100 IM race to finish a very creditable 4th in the final.
Another satisfying statistic to note was that all 5 of our finalists did personal bests under the cauldron of pressure associated with a county final race. Testimony to the hard work of all our coaching team. Well done folks and enjoy the rest of the championships.
