ASA National County Team Championship
Chippenham ASC had 3 swimmers invited to represent Wiltshire at the ASA National County Team Championships, which took place at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield on the 23rd October 2016. It was an exciting day with the 50m pool being divided into two so that division one and two could compete on the same day. Wiltshire competed in Division 2 and the Chippenham swimmers chosen were Ella Parker (13), Katharine Sheppard (16) and Harrison Jones (17).
Ella Parker swam the 100m backstroke in the 12/13 age group and the 50m backstroke in the 12/13 team medley relay.
Katharine Sheppard swam the 50m butterfly in the 16/17 team medley relay.
Harrison Jones swam the 100m backstroke in the 16/17 age group and the 50m backstroke in the 16/17 team medley relay.
All three swimmers put in great swims with Ella securing a PB in the 100m backstroke of 1:13.50 and Katharine securing a PB in the 50m butterfly of 32.06.
Wiltshire finished 13th in division two. Chippenham ASC looks forward to supporting the County Team again next year.
Newsflash
We need more licensed officials to run events and to complete behind the scenes roles. Why not start to train as an official? Its not as daunting as you think. Most of the training is done on pool side at a pace that suites you. Join a Judge 1 course to see what it is all about. Questions? Please ask Darren Hall or e-mail the club This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
If you are a parent of a CASC swimmer and have an hour or two to spare each week please contact a member of the committee either on poolside or via the 'contact us' link above as we are always looking for help from committed parents. Support is welcome both on poolside and behind the scenes with club administration / management functions.
