Flying Through to the IAPS National Swimming Championships 2020

The news we have been patiently waiting for arrived this week, stating whether or not our swimming squad had done enough to get to the IAPs National Swimming Finals. They made it!

Congratulations to all our swimmers who took part in the qualifying round but especially to Daniel (backstoke) and Noah G (butterfly) who finished in the top ten for their category nationally and would have represented Eversfield at the national finals!

More than 400 schools enter the competition which sees 40 qualifying galas across the UK during the spring term. The fastest 1500 swimmers are invited to the national finals which are traditionally held at the London Aquatics Centre in June, but the national pandemic has meant that the national finals had to be cancelled and instead the qualifying times have been published.

This event has grown enormously over the last ten years and it is now one of the toughest IAPS sporting events held in the UK. Our swimmers gained excellent places nationally and should be very proud of themselves and all their hard work. The top 20 individuals in each event qualified for the final and the top 16 relay teams. Daniel and Noah’s achievement is phenomenal. Well done boys.
