Beckenham SC Club Championships 2009 - Session 5

14th December 2009

What another great night of swimming with a little festive cheer!

The night went well after a technical hitch with the microphone caused a short delay in the start. Thank you to the Spa staff and Ned (Gold squad swimmer) for helping to get the alternative sound system working.

This delay didn’t affect the swimming  as 5 new Event Best Performances were swum, taking the total of records broken in 2009 to 16 which is even better than the 9 records broken last year. Michael Gunning took another 2 in the 50m fly, breaking his own record and the 400IM. This took his total this year to 6 records. Steph King also broke another 2 records in both the 50m fly and 50m back. This took her total this year to 4 records. Kunmi Ogunfeibo took the 12/13 50m back record even though he is only 12 yrs old and can therefore have another go next year. This took his 2009 record tally to 4. The other 2 records this year went to Edward Langley and Lauren Walton in earlier sessions. WELL DONE TO YOU ALL!  You are a great attribute to the club.

Just to remind swimmers who have come first in any event, the Trophy Presentation will take place next Monday, 21st December at the Spa. Thank you to Liz Haynes for organising  the engraving of the Trophies ( a mammoth task) and Pat Davies who has kindly offered to organise next week’s Presentation. This will enable all the Trophy winners to have their Trophies at home for Christmas. The Presentation will take place from 7pm for swimmers not  swimming at this time. Swimmers in Gold and Top squad will be presented from 8pm as they finish training. We have to be out of the Spa at 9pm. Our president Andrew Forryan will be presenting the Trophies to the winners. Even if you have not won a trophy, I encourage anybody who has the time to come and congratulate the winners and see all the Trophies laid out together, they look magnificent!

If anyone is at the Spa at 5.30pm on the night, help would be appreciated carrying the boxes of Trophies into the Spa.

Lost Property

I have 4 named shirts at home ( I will e mail swimmers separately) and a pair of ladies Floral shorts.

For the last time, thank you to all the parents and officials for their help in all the sessions this year. Justine and I panic for weeks over the organising of these championships, but we need not as it all comes together on the night, thanks to all the help. Roll on 2010!

May we wish you all a Happy Christmas and a successful 2010.........

13th October 2009

Please find attached the results from Last night’s Club Championships.

We had another great evening of swimming with 2 new records coming from Edward Langley in the 9 years and under 50 m breaststroke, breaking the 2002 record and yet another from Michael Gunning in the 14/15yrs 100m Freestyle who broke the  21 year record held by Peter Chick. Well done boys!

Thank you again to all those who helped on the night to make the event possible, especially those officials who return year after year even though they have no children competing.

Liz Haynes managed to give out the wonderful new style medals and pin badges which just arrived in time for yesterday. Thank you Liz.

The evening ran smoothly with only a small delay in results being printed. This was in part due to swimmers not signing in on time so please can I reiterate the importance of getting to the Spa in time for this. We try to accommodate late swimmers if possible but it can then hold up the proceedings.

I had one small, un named  T bag  and a black British Championship hat left at the end if anyone has lost them?

Session 3 of the Club Championships is  after half term on the 9th November so we hope the swimmers  have a great break from school but not from training! Top squad will be away at a training camp over half term, so we expect great results on the 9th! The events are 25m Fly ( 9/u only), 100m Fly ( 10/ov only), 200m Back and 400 Free.

Thank you,

Jackie and Justine

Steph Denny achieved Bronze in the 50m freestyle when Steffie King achieved 4th in the 100m backstroke and 6th in the 200m backstroke. Michael Gunning achieved 6th on his 1500m freestyle and 7th on his 200m IM a year out of age. Well done guy’s!

FORMER BECKENHAM SWIMMER GB SYNCHRO SQUAD SUCCESS

May 2009

Louise Woolley daughter of our beginners’ Water Polo coach was in Andorra last week competing in the LEN European Champions Cup for Synchronised Swimming. She swam in (and was captain of) the Technical Team, Free Team and Free Combination Team events and the GB team came respectively 5th, 6th and 5th. She is now looking forward to the World Championships which will take place in Rome in July.

Louise started her synchro career aged 7 and at the age of 11 joined Beckenham for extra fitness training. This proved to be a great advantage to her synchro age groups career as she was always fitter than most of her contemporaries. Louise trained 1996 – 2004 mainly in Club and what is now Platinum Squad and swam in several galas for Beckenham. She won numerous British age groups titles, had 4 years as a junior international and then went on to win the British Championship Duet title 3 times and the team title 7 years in a row. She became a full-time athlete in September 2007 when the Synchro High Performance Centre was set up in Aldershot. She trains six days a week (40 hours in total).

...The National League Final!

26th April 2009

Sunday morning saw the Beckenham 'A' Team perform to great success, in arguably one of the greatest all round team performances by the club, in the 9th National swimming league ‘B’ cup final in Sheffield. Beckenham S.C. managed 3rd Place position behind the "City of Cardiff" and the "City of Salford". In fact, the result now gives Beckenham the rights of being the TOP LONDON CLUB after successfully fending off 4th placed Camden Swiss Cottage, as well as other South League opponents Leatherhead S.C. and Haslemere S.C. To put this achievement in context, Camden has a base of 1000 members compared to Beckenham's 350. And when you compare the catchment of Beckenham to the "city" clubs competing, who are often the only swimming club in their respective cities, the achievement on Sunday is all the more outstanding. The return was long awaited - 6 years - and the collective performance of everyone from Coach, Swimmer, Supporter and Official never failed to disappoint. This was highlighted none more, than in the strength and depth of the team relays, where in the combined Relay Challenge Trophy, Beckenham were runners up to eventual winners City of Cardiff, by the narrow margin of just 1.4 secs!

To read more about this event go to the News section and look out for the roving reporter report from Kirsty Shelts in the next edition of the "Our Club" Beckenham SC Newsletter.

Ellen Gandy makes new British record

16th March 2009

Beckenham’s Ellen Gandy started the record breaking evening with an excellent performance in the women’s 100m Butterfly final. Gandy, who has been training in Australia, turned just ahead of her closest rival Fran Halsall (Loughborough ITC) but fought to extend her lead with an impressive final 50m.

The Olympian, Gandy, touched home in a new British record time of 57.49 almost a second ahead of Halsall who took the silver with a new personal best time of 58.11. Gandy has now sealed her place on the team for the Rome World Championships.

“I'm so happy with my training at the moment, my life and everything and it’s translated well into the pool,” Gandy said. “I'm delighted with that. It sets me up well for a good 200m fly later in the week.

“I've been working a lot on my back end speed and that came through. I tried to go out fast to keep with Fran and my late speed came through.”

Ellen Gandy also won the 200m butterfly in a new European record at the British Gas Swimming Championships in Sheffield, but her time of 2mins 04.83secs has yet to be ratified because of a faulty timing system. British Swimming were last night investigating the back-up data.

Gandy was just 0.65secs off the world record set by China's Zige Liu at last year's Olympics to lower Otylia Jedrejczak's European record from 2005. It also eclipsed Jessicah Schipper's Commonwealth standard by almost a second.

Ellen was a length ahead at the halfway point and produced a phenomenal final length to slice almost two seconds off Jemma Lowe's British record set in the same pool last year. Gandy said: "I can't believe it. I had no idea I was that fast, I didn't even feel that fast. I'm in shock right now."

Well done Ellen from all at Beckenham SC, for full story see SwimNews.com

Beckenham swimmers savour record county success

15th March 2009

If one word summed up Beckenham Swimming Club’s experience of the Kent County Championships this year, it would have to be “records”. A record number of BSC members – 65 - took part in the championships, held over four weekends, and an unprecedented number of records were broken, 21 individual and 8 team events.

Indeed one swimmer, Michael Gunning, 14, broke 15 event performance records single-handedly, as well as setting a county record in the 800m. He finished the championships with 16 individual gold medals and four silvers, and was presented with the coveted top boy award in his age group.

The BSC swimmers, aged 9 to 19, won a record 153 gold medals, 92 silvers, 71 bronzes and countless fourth, fifth and sixth place awards. Last year, itself regarded as a glorious moment in the club’s history, BSC swimmers came home with 130 golds, 93 silvers and 75 bronzes. The club also broke eight relay records on the final day of this year’s championships.

Most of the BSC swimmers achieved personal best times in their events and several won double-figure gold medals. As well as the 15 event records achieved by Michael, four of his club-mates set new event records: Steffi King, 15, and Lauren Walton, 13, each broke two, while Lauren’s twin sister, Rebecca, and Kunmi Ogunfeibo, 11, broke one record each. Steffi also took home an impressive 18 individual golds and set two county records.

“The whole of the Kents were great,” said Michael, “but when I broke a county record on my 800m freestyle and everybody was clapping, that was something to remember!”

As well as the pleasure of setting two new county records, Steffi savoured the fantastic atmosphere and “actually managing to beat my 13-year-old times in some events for the first time!”

Tony Beckley, the BSC head coach, said the championship achievements were all the more remarkable, given the months of disruption and frustration the swimmers have faced since the “temporary closure” of the Crystal Palace pool in September 2007.

Despite that setback, the club has enjoyed some of its best results recently: Michael, Steffi and Steph Denny are about to compete in the British Swimming Championships and BSC is sending a large team to the finals of the National Swimming League in Sheffield in April for the first time in six years. This is a gathering of the top 20 clubs in the country.

“What these swimmers have achieved, through hard work, discipline and solid training, is absolutely fantastic,” he said. “I am so pleased with all of them.
