Representing Sedgefield 75 Swimming Club were Hannah Featherstone, Leah Smith and Niall Coulthard at the ASA National Swimming Championships held at Ponds Forge Sheffield in July/August. Hannah competed in the 100 and 200 and 50 FS, the 200 and 100 Backstroke and the 200 Individual Medley. She made the final in all of the six events, the best results being fourth in the 200 FS, the 200 IM and the 200 Backstroke. Each of the three events were swum in new best times.

The results were really pleasing as training leading up to the Nationals had to take second place to her preparation for her A Levels. Hannah is to continue her swimming career at Stirling University and every one in the club wishes her continued success. Niall and Leah were competing for the first time at National level following a successful year at County and Regional level. Niall competed in the 200 Freestyle and Leah in the 50 Breaststroke. Both swimmers achieved new best times Niall coming seventh in the final and Leah was reserve finalist. Training resumes on Tuesday, 29th August
