25th-28th April 2013 Sheffield, 50m. The British International Disability Championships is an annual competition held at Sheffield and attracts the top Paralympic swimmers from all over the world. This year’s championships had added importance they were also the British Swimming Trials for this summer’s IPC World Swimming Championships in Montreal, Canada.  All events are swum as multi-classification (MC) and are open to any swimmer. However at the Paralympics and World Championships each classification can only enter certain events. Therefore at these trials only those swimmers whose classification had that specific event available at the World Championships were able to progress from the heats to the A-finals and compete for the medals. Other swimmers were then allocated into B, C and Youth finals. The number 1 priority here for us then was racing the clock.

Many Congratulations to all our youngsters who all swam magnificently when they represented the Club in the recent Norfolk Junior League Final Fixtures. Our thanks also go to Head Junior Development Coach Jane Blackwell and our Junior Development Coaches Louise Bush and Sarah Bird.
