The Age Group and the Senior Junior Winter North East Regionals both took place over the same weekend, 6-7 November 2010, at the Aquatics Centre in Sunderland. It was a very hectic and long weekend but CoSSS came away with plenty to be pleased about. Not only were there plenty of medals and great swims there were two British Records too!! In the Senior Junior Championships there were 8 Gold, 7 Silver and 10 Bronze medals won with David Gregory (18), Alex Watson (15), Tom Sunter (18), Matthew Johnson (15), Lewis Coleman (18) and the Mens 800m Freestyle A Team winning Championship titles. There was a short course British Record for James Crisp (28) in the 200m Backstroke in 2.15.40, and for Matthew Johnson (15) a short course Age Group British Record in the 200m Fly in 2.01.71. Congratulations James and Matthew!
In the Age Group category there were three Champions, Edvinas Zailskas (11), Emily Longstone (12) and Jenny Knowles (13). Cian Senior (12) had a great weekend winning 4 Silvers and a bronze. In total there were 4 Gold, 7 Silver and 8 Bronze medals won.
Well done to all who competed!
