European Down Syndrome Championships
Following on from the success they had in Taiwan last autumn, three members of the Nova Centurion Disability Squad, along with coach Grant Cashmore, recently attended the European Down Syndrome Championships in Southampton. Once again they all proved what exceptional swimmers they are. Clare Crawford underlined her racing skills with a silver, four bronzes and two fourth places in the seven events she took part in. This showed that the hard work that Clare has been putting into her training and her focus to succeed is starting to pay off. Andrew Banks, despite suffering from a bad cold, was determined to swim and this paid off, Andy has now decided that the distance events are a thing of the past and his new found enthusiasm for the shorter distances resulted in one silver, one bronze, a fourth and two fifths, well done Andy. Oliver Pratley swam in the junior class and ended up with two golds, two silvers and a bronze, he also broke the world records in 200 back, 100 IM and 100 breast this means that he now holds 5 Junior World records and 7 Junior European world records, a truly remarkable feat. Congratulation to all the swimmers - who we know want to thank Grant for all his help, support and encouragement over the weekend.
