Congratulations to year 10 swimmer Frances Newe on her successful performance in not one, but two national swimming competitions, which took place in Sheffield over the Summer.

At the British Championships, which featured the top 25 swimmers in the UK, Frances finished 13th in the 400m medley, 11th in the 200m breaststroke and made the final in the 200m medley finishing 10th in Britain.

At the English Nationals, attended by the top 40 swimmers in England, Frances finished 6th in the 100m breaststroke, 8th in the 200m butterfly and 11th in the 200m backstroke.
