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. The Beckenham SC 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. The Kent County Championships will be back again in February/March 2010. |

26 April 2009. The 9th National Swimming League B Final "..... the Beckenham army of swimmers and parents gathered together to march across the now silent streets of Sheffield to the chant of “Tony Beckley’s Beckenham Army”, dressed in our army combats and hats, proudly waving the Beckenham flag. All eyes were on the Beckenham army as they arrived loudly outside Ponds Forge. The atmosphere was electric, and Team Beckenham was raring to go....." |
