COCSC swimmer Lauren Cox went to Nice in France this weekend with Swim England to take part in the French Golden Tour. She won silver in both the 50m and the 100m backstroke both in lifetime best times. The 50m she swam in 28.39 which is a new West Midlands and Warwickshire senior record. The 100m She swam in 1.01.60 which is also a Warwickshire senior record. Great job Lauren! #fastswimming #cocsc #cityofculture #dreambig

City of Coventry Swimming Club had 97 swimmers aged between 10 and 23 (age end of year) qualify for this year’s county championships. The Championships were held at their home pool on Fairfax Street for the final time, before the move to the new pool at the Alan Higgs later this year, and the Coventry Swimmers ensured the pool got the sending off it deserved. Finishing top of the medal table with a whopping 117 medals: 41 Gold, 42 Silver and 34 Bronze.
 
The Coventry swimmers demonstrated excellent professionalism, exhibited each day with the team land warm ups done prior to the pool warm up which was led by senior swimmers on each occasion. This lent to fantastic performances in the pool both individually and collectively. Both the male and the female 10-12 relay teams won Gold in the free and the medley relays. This was boosted further by wins in the open age relays in the men’s and women’s 800m freestyle team demonstrating the depth right throughout the club. Individual praise must go to: Elizabeth Caine - picking up 4 gold medals, Kenza Ajimi - who won a clean sweep of the breaststroke events (50m, 100m and 200m), and both Rebecca Winn and James McClure who picked up a further 3 gold medals each. Not to mention the vast number of finalists, best times and improvements showcased by the whole club. It was great to see a ‘Red C’ touching the wall first on so many races. Well done to all swimmers, coaches and volunteers for helping the swimmers to be the very best they can be!
