A Golden Beds County Championships

Some of our 2018 Beds County Competitors

Team Luton finished second to Modernian in the Top Club award at the 2018 Beds County championships – but came top in terms of medals  with us securing 78 Gold, 47 Silver and 35 Bronze medals.

CLUB GOLD SILVER BRONZE TOTAL
TEAM LUTON 78 47 35 160
Modernian 67 71 55 193

With 14 Senior and 11 Junior County titles, plus one new Senior County record being set, it was a hugely successful performance.

In addition to all the medals and titles, from 350 swims across the 2 weekends we came away with 293 personal best times, a staggering  personal best percentage of 84%.

Congratulations to all our swimmers and thanks to our coaches and the parents for your invaluable support and encouragement.

5 British & English Summer National Finalists!

Congratulations to Chiara Rogers, Celyn Walmsley, Chantal Smith , Nicola Pasquire and Matthew Wright for your swims up in Sheffield bringing Team Luton’s  2016/17 season to a highly successful conclusion.

Finals and top ten places were secured by all, topped off by Matthew winning Gold in the English 400m Freestyle, albeit representing Bath University where he has just finished his first year’s studies. Read here for a full report.

The fantastic results are testament to all of the hours put in by our swimmers and all of our coaching staff. It was also a fitting end to  Adam Taylor’s first year as Head Coach coming just after the club recognised all of its up and coming swimmers, with over 120 club records established over the last year.

Well done everyone!

More medals and PBs at East Region “Junior” Age Group Champs

Our younger swimmers were in spectacular form over the second May Bank Holiday weekend competing over in Norwich.

Rhys Davidson won a gold, a silver and two bronze medals with all nine of our swimmers each recording long course personal best times (or finishing within a fraction of a second of them).

As Adam Taylor commented, “All swimmers came away with plenty of process goals to work on into their final competitions of the season. Congratulations to all who competed and represented Team Luton so professionally”.
