Swim BOP Short Course Champs 2019, 9th to 11 August 2019
3 Mount Welly swimmers Amos, Elijah & Caleb entered the 2019 Bay of Plenty SC championship on 9th August weekend.
The pool was crowded with all Bay of Plenty regional swimmers and we met up with an ex- MWelly Paige Tevita-Williams.
It is good to compete with different swimmers from different regions to test their ability.
Amos achieved 2 good BPs in his 200free and 400free.
Elijah entered 4 events with 3 BPs but DQ on 200back.
Caleb medalled (10 and under) a gold on 50breast, 3 silver 200IM, 50fly, 100free, a bronze 200back; he also broke the 9 and under record for 50 breast and 50 fly. However, it will not be recorded as he is not registered in BOP. (maybe we should move to Tauranga).
Total of 1 Gold, 3 Silver, 1 Bronze and 10 BPs.
