It has been a very busy period for the YCBC swimmers who have been competing at Swim England North East Region Championships 2023. The age group swimmers aged between 11-14 competed in Sunderland over two weekends on the 22nd-2th April and the 13th-14th May. The youth and senior swimmers aged 15 years and over competed in Sheffield over the May bank holiday weekend from 29th April-1st May.

There were many excellent performances from the swimmers, first time finalists at the regional championships and four medalists from the club. The championships were the final competition in the national qualifying window for the YCBC swimmers. The swimmers will now wait until the end of May to find out if they have made qualification for either the British Summer Nationals or the Swim England Summer Nationals in July and August respectively.
