ESSA Relays No Problem For Junior Team!!

Our junior swimmers competed in two events in the English Schools Swimming Association (ESSA) 2011 Secondary School Team Championships finals held on 26th September 2011 at The Quays, Southampton. ESSA was formed in 1949, initially organising swimming and diving championships for pupils in secondary schools. The sixteen fastest school teams nationwide competed in relay and medley relay finals in this 54th ESSA National Championship.

The boys taking part were Didcot Barramundi’s Oliver Beard, Edward Burrowes, Ricky Martin and Ollie Ripley. They competed really well and were placed 11th nationally in both the freestyle and medley relays, producing personal bests. Competing at this top-level is invaluable, giving the boys the confidence and poise to push their performances into the next league.

Well done Boys!!
