Swimming Club News
Written by Andy Nicoll   

Alexandra Harris Alexandra Harris (Aged 13) made swimming history becoming the first girl from a Shropshire club to qualify for the British Gas British Championships - no mean feat for a 13 year old who only started swimming two years ago.

Alex qualified in four events but only competed in three.  It is a daunting and serious competition with none of the light atmosphere of the Bagcats or National youth events.  Depsite not swimming her best, Alex gained a huge amount of experience; as one of the youngest swimmers in the competition she had the opportunity to compete with some of the UK's most elite swimmers including Rebecca Adlington and Fran Halsall.
