This weekend saw 15 of the fastest Chatteris Kingfishers swimmers compete in the first part of the County A championships taking place in Cambridge. They faced tough competition from Peterborough and Cambridge especially. Hallie White (13) and Thomas Hanley (13) qualified for five events each and both swam well. Hallie won the 50m butterfly and got to the finals of the 50m front crawl, ending up with a bronze medal in a time of 29.77. She finished 6th in 100m I.M., 8th in 200m I.M. and 19th in 100m breaststroke. Thomas got in the final of the 50m front crawl as well, finishing in 6th in 30.36, and competed in the 100m I.M.

Young Reece Rimpson (11) bagged bronze from the finals of the 50m front crawl, a 4th place in 100m I.M. and 7th in 200m I.M. Freddie Allen had to swim in the 12 year age group, despite only being 11, so did very well to get into the finals of the 50m and 100m front crawl and finish in 5th place and gaining 6th spot in 200m backstroke.
