News from the synchro multi-regionals
Congratulations to the girls from the Chippenham synchro squad for coming second in the south west region and ninth overall in the under-19 team event in the southern multi-regional championships yesterday. Teams from all across the south of England competed in Surrey and the standard was high. The girls swam well, keeping their cool when the music stopped in the middle of their routine, necessitating a re-swim later. Well done to Alice Johnston, Jessica Brayley, Madeleine Gardener, Eleanor Daniel, Ellen Gaunt, Megan Gee, Rebecca Platts and Tamla Berry who all swam well and to Harriet Byrne, who was injured but gave valued poolside support.
Three Chippenham girls swam in Bristol teams and in the individual figures event. Issy Collings and Emma Holloway's 15-17 team won the SW region and multi-regional event. Issy came third in the regional figures and solo events. Emma came sixth in the regional figures event. Georgie Scott-Green's 13-14 team won both the regional and the multi-regional event and she came fourth in the regional figures. Well done to all the girls.

Issy Collings achieves highest synchro level
Congratulations to Issy Collings who passed her synchro skill 5 assessment, the highest level, in Portsmouth. The skills assessments are extremely difficult to pass and swimmers often have to retake the tests many times. Very few girls in the country have achieved level 5 and the club is extremely proud of Issy for her hard work and success.
