Congratulations to Joe Stratton for being selected to represent the West Midlands team at the ESSA National Championships in Crawley on the 23 & 24 March. The West Midlands are competing against the other 7 regions of the country.
Agape with the sight of our first Olympic Sized Pool, we arrived excited for the day! First timer and the experienced Apex Long Meet swimmers got comfortable with the great venue swiftly. The energetic white noise and music filled the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre as morning warm-up began. As the day moved on more and more the announcements came with top 3 places for many of the Apex Team, PBs, Medals, Midlands Times and a super swimming experience for every single competitor. Across the clapping and shouting as swimmers cut through the water driving - and diving - themselves onwards, the ever present Apex SC team spirit and cheer rang out across the pool “Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! GO!”
