Swim England East Region Artistic Swimming held their first Grading Day of 2022. It was held on Saturday 29th January at Witham Leisure Centre, Witham.
It was great to be back doing some face to face assessments and everyone involved had a great day.
Swim England East Region Water Polo held their first Club Referee course online via Zoom on Saturday 5th February 2022. It was a great turn out with 19 learners on the morning course and 20 on the afternoon course. This is the first step on the Swim England WP Referee Pathway. It gave the learners a chance to gain an initial understanding of Water polo FINA Rules and apply this within their club.
Huge congratulations to Jordan Catchpole Paralympic gold medallist from Beccles and a member of Team Waveney on becoming one of the youngest people to be made an MBE for services to swimming in the New Year’s Honours List.
Congratulations also are due to Jessica-Jane Applegate from Great Yarmouth and a member of City of Norwich Swimming Club, was part of the same S14 freestyle mixed relay team at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics which they also gained a World Record.
Congratulations to them both.
