AVSC Finishes the Season on a High !

As the Olympics gets underway, the swimming season for Abingdon Vale Swimming Club (AVSC) has only just finished, with the ASA Nationals in Sheffield Ponds Forge - the last UK swimming event of the season.

Max Bolcato (14) was competing for his first time at these Championships and had two tremendous swims in the 100m and 200m butterfly, making finals in both events. A personal best time of 1.02.72 in the 100m final meant he finished in 4th place overall.

His Nationals success rounds off a hugely successful season overall for AVSC, during which the club saw the largest number of swimmers ever competing at the ASA South East Regional Championships.  AVSC brought home 10 medals with 12 year old Lottie James winning Gold in the 200 IM, 3 Silvers and 2 Bronze. Max Bolcato won 2 Silvers and a Bronze and Seb Rawes a Bronze in the 50 fly.

Head Coach Amanda Ford said 'I am so proud of all the swimmers, their hard work and dedication to training over the year has certainly paid off!'
