SE East Region/Norfolk Open Water Championships

Wednesday 12 July 2023

Co Norwich SC had a good turn out to this years East Regional Open Water Championships at Whittlingham Broad, Sunday 9th July, Racing 1k to 5k. The weather was a little overcast with the threat of rain and thunderstorms. It did rain during the 3k but luckily there were no storms.

Water Temp was a mild 21.1 degrees – so no wetsuits. Open Water is a totally different swimming experience, not everyone can cope with murky water, weeds and wildlife (above and below the surface) and no turns either. Fantastic results for our City of Norwich Swimmers!

Jack Tate – 17/18y Boys: 5th in region, 1st for Norfolk.

3k Swimmers

Austin Taylor – 14yr age group: 11th in the Region, 3rd for Norfolk

Noah Buchan – 12y Boys: 2nd in Region, 1st for Norfolk.

1k Swimmers

This was Lawrence’s first ever open water event.  Sarah (Mum) also gained a medal with 2nd place in her age group in the 3k; and Spike (Dad) finished the trio with a gold for his age group in the 3k. There was a great atmosphere and some very exciting swimming.
