Famous Five at Ponds Forge in ASA North East Regionals

5 of Barnsley's senior elite swimmers (14 yrs over) took part in the ASA North East Regional Championships at Ponds Forge this weekend.  Up against the fastest swimmers in the north east the squad consisting of Greg Lugton, Nathan Billingham, Libby Turner, Georgia Hamblett and Harriet Ostrowski-Jones achieved several personal bests.  Despite valiant swims the squad were unable to make the finals but attained several top 20 placings.

 

Press Officer Adrian Wightman said "To even make the entry times for these events means the swimmers are competing at an exceptionally high level.  The swimmers will now be focussing in on their upcoming competitions and looking forward to the next set of Yorkshire and Regional galas in the New Year."
