St Mary's swimmers make a splash in Glasgow!

St Mary's swimmers make a splash in Glasgow!

During half term, more than 300 athletes descended on the Tollcross International Swimming Centre for the British Swimming Glasgow Meet. Among them were our very own Matilda P. and Georgia M., who qualified in the 200m butterfly and 100m breaststroke respectively.

Matilda also qualified for the 400m individual medley, so there has been plenty for St Mary’s to cheer about this week! This huge achievement for both girls falls in the European Junior Championships qualification window which will take place in Rome in July. Matilda and Georgia travelled to Glasgow independently and remained within the British swimming bubble, which included several already-qualified Olympians, throughout the whole competition.

We await further news of their exciting experience!
