MATTHEW WYLIE BREAKS THE BRITISH RECORD – AGAIN!

Congratulations to Matthew Wylie (Olympic Hopefuls 3 and coached by Val Wilson) who has once again broke the British 400 Medley record.

Matthew has been on a record breaking spree since October:

  • 200 Butterfly at the N&D autumn series
  • 800 Freestyle at the Chester-le-Street meet
  • 400 Medley at the N&D autumn series
  • 400 Medley at the Wear Valley meet

Matthew is really pleased with his records – ‘when I realised I had gotten my first British record I was over the moon. When I beat my own record in the 800 Freestyle it was amazing’.

Keep up the great work Matthew!

JOSH CROWTHER TO RACE AT WORLD SCHOOL GAMES

All the best to A Squad member Josh Crowther who is representing England at the World School Games. The Games is a multi sport competition (similar to the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics) which is held every 3 years. Josh is part of a 24 strong England swim team which is racing at Qatar.

Josh is competing in the 400 and 200 metre freestyle. Josh has enjoyed a great season so far in winning the 200 metres freestyle and the 50 backstroke at the recent NER Senior Championships. His 50 backstroke was a new Northumberland and Durham senior record.

The competition is the biggest international sport event for schools in the world.
