PORTSMOUTH and District Synchronised Swimming Club, which uses the pool at Churcher’s College in Petersfield for some of its training, has enjoyed a successful year.

The club entered four teams into the National Synchro Combo Cup at the London Aquatic Centre, and the 13-15 team won silver medals in their age category for the second year running. The 15-18 team came fifth in their age category, the 12 and under team were 16th in their age category and the 15 and under team were 14th in their age category.

The club then enjoyed pretty much a clean sweep of the medal table at the south east regional championships. The club dominated the top 12 places in the 13-18 figures with Isabel Benson, Emily Jupe and Marianne Shaul winning the gold, silver and bronze medals respectively. The 13-15 team won gold for their routine and the 15-18 team won gold medals too for their routine.
