Wiltshire County Sprint Championships 2019

Wiltshire County Sprint Championships were held on Sunday 9th June 2019 at Milton Road, Swindon. This was rescheduled from March due to problems with the pool. Unfortunately, due to this change of date, some swimmers were unable to attend due to GCSE and A-Level exams. There were the usual total of 8 races, one length in the 36.67 yard pool for each of the four strokes for boys and girls.

Chippenham had a team of 18 swimmers who qualified and swam. It was a successful day with Chippenham bringing home a total of 18 medals (7 golds, 6 silver and 5 bronze), over the different age groups. Also Chippenham had swimmers who placed in the Junior Championship (aged 15 and under). They won a total of 6 medals (2 gold - Junior Champions, 1 silver and 3 fifth place).

For the overall Championship, the fastest 5 competitors (regardless of age) swim again for a chance to win the Championship in that stroke. Chippenham were represented in some of the 8 championship races. The swimmers were rewarded with 1 gold medal and Championship Title, 3 Silver Medals, 2 bronze medals and 3 fifth places.

Well done to all swimmers.
