South East Long Course Championships 2026

18/1/2026

Helen started her 2026 campaign with the South East Long Course meet at Crawley.

Although not in the medals, it was a good experience to race in a 50m pool (which feels much longer than two lengths of a 25m pool!).

Helen's race times:

Breaststroke 50m 51.41 (PB)
Breaststroke 200m 4:03.28

Helen was aiming for a sub 4 minute result in the 200m race and had been training at the Hillingdon pool in preparation. There's dedication! Hopefully next time...

South East Region Masters Championships 2025

27/9/2025

We had three swimmers representing the club at this event, which had qualifying times to be able to enter. It was broadcast on YouTube so all successes and mistakes are laid bare for all to see!

Lynda had a clean sweep of golds and so is a triple SE England champion. Her 200m backstroke was only her second attempt at this distance and she secured a time which is a Phase 2 National time, as are her two other distances.

Paul managed to become the 200m breaststroke SE England champion with a PB by 6 seconds.

Helen recorded the most impressive improvement with three PBs, including breaking 4 minutes for the 200m breaststroke. She is also now just 1 second from the Phase 2 National time for the 100m breaststroke.

Barnet Copthall Sprint Meet 2025

14/9/2025

Four swimmers represented RNSC at this year's Barnet Copthall Sprint Meet.

We brought home a total of 3 Gold, 5 Silver and 3 Bronze medals.

Unfortunately Mike G was unable to attend. We missed you Mike, you would have collected a few more gold medals!

Clair and Helen were in a rather full and fast age group so the medals were tougher to win, but great to see that they are getting faster. Well done on your new PBs!

Well done team!

Barnet Copthall Distance Meet 2025

6/7/2025

Well done to all the RNSC swimmers who competed at the Barnet Copthall Distance Meet on 5th & 6th July.

I think it's fair to say that we were all pleased with our results. We were all quick off the blocks and swam well, even if we had a couple of wonky turns or wished we didn't have to swim all 8 lengths of the 200m. Our commiserations go to Paul, who missed his 200m breaststroke race due to a traffic holdup on his journey to the pool.

See below for our medal haul and race times... 3 Gold, 6 silver, 2 bronze!

Lynda:

200m Back 3:40.23 Silver

Middlesex County Meet 2025

18/5/2025

Eight RNSC competitors completed 27 individual races plus a women's relay at the Middlesex County Masters competition held at Barnet Copthall.

Of the 12 clubs competing, RNSC finished 5th overall. The women were 4th and the men 7th overall.

As usual it was a well run and friendly event. Mike G received loud cheers from the crowd for his gold medal winning races. Next year Mike moves into the 90+ year age group, so expect even louder cheers!

Well done to everyone who took part!

Sorry, Karen and Mike are missing from the team photo!
