The 2015 British Summer Championships, the 2015 ASA English National Summer Championships and the 2015 ASA Open Water National Championships brought a long, hard 2014/2015 season to a close. YCBC were represented by six swimmers who were a credit the Club!

The British Summer Championships and the ASA English National Summer Championships were held at Ponds Forge, Sheffield: the former from 28th July to 2nd August; and the latter from 4th August to 9th August. Swimmers were invited to attend these meets depending on their rankings in individual events, achieved during either the 13th March – 31st May 2015 qualifying window or at ASA regional championships held in early June.

The British Summer Championships were for swimmers aged 13 years and over (age as at 31st December 2015). Qualification was determined by a top 24 ranking per event and per age from the British ranking list.

The ASA English National Summer Championships were for swimmers aged 12 years and over (age as at 31st December 2015). Qualification was determined from the English ranking list; 20 swimmers were invited per age per event, excluding those individuals who had qualified for the British Summer Championships.

The 2015 ASA Open Water National Championships were contested on August 2nd/3rd in Sheffield, at the Rother Valley Country Park. Qualification was secured via regional qualifying events.

YCBC was extremely proud to be represented in these three competitions by a total of 6 swimmers: Katarina Bonner; Annie Johnston; Lucy Nicholson; Jason Robson; Sam Russell; and Ellen Suddes.

 


 

Top honours went to Annie Johnston who won a Bronze medal at the English National Championships in the 18 years/over age group 200m Butterfly.

To swim at a national level is a magnificent achievement and is something that all six swimmers should be applauded for. They were all fantastic and the Club sends hearty congratulations to them all. Well done to everyone! A full set of results is listed below.
