Lucy Nicholson came Joint First – a remarkable feat in itself for two swimmers to go the distance of 1500m in open water and still have nothing between them – in last weekend’s North East Regional Open Water Championships at Wykenham. YCBC team mate Katarina Bonner came a creditable 5th too. Lucy’s performance was all the better as she has now achieved the qualifying time for the National Open Water Championships to be swum later this month. Well done girls and good luck to Lucy in the National Open Water championships.
