Age Group Swimming Championships 2008 - SHEFFIELD Two InCAS swimmers competed at the British Age Groups Championships in Sheffield in July/August. Rachel O'Donnell had her 12th birthday in the car on the way to Sheffield, which meant she had to swim in that Age Group. She had already qualified for the 200m Freestyle and 200m Individual Medley. Rachel’s first swim in the 200 m Free was tremendous achieving over a two second personal best. Four days later Rachel swam out of her skin in the 200 m IM heats to achieve a 3 second PB and qualify for the finals. She repeated her time to finish in tenth place. The second week featured 15 year old Roisin Donnelly who qualified for the 200m and 100m Breastroke. Her first swim in the 200m breaststroke saw her just miss out on the final. She finished as Reserve for the final. But Roisin made no mistake in the 100m Breaststroke, qualifying for the Semi-Final in a time of 1.16.61. Roisin went on to qualify for the final in a superb PB time of 1.16.13. Roisin finished in 8th place in 1.16.23. We should not underestimate the magnitude of these swims. This was an excellent performance from both of these two athletes hoping to compete for their Country in the future. |

Young 10 year old Tain Bruce, swimming in the girls 11 and under age group, swam her heart out to win a Silver in the 100m Butterfly and made three other finals - 4th 100m IM, 4th 50m Fly and 5th in the 50m back also achieving 9 lifetime bests. The girls 12/13yrs age group saw Amber McWhirter have a very good weekend with two Silvers in the 50m Backstroke and 50m Breastroke, a 4th in the 100m B/C, 5th in the 100m Fly and a 6th in the 50m Fly. The same age group saw Nicola Saunders also have a good weekend with a Silver in the 100m IM and a 5th in the 50m B/C. Other swimmers who achieved lifetime bests were 12 year old Isla McLeod, 17 year Scottish Disability swimmer Jenny Somerville and 10 year old Morven Rae-Seaman.
