2022 Swim England National Skills Finals

As we combine our report of the 2022 Swim England National Skills Finals, we say a huge congratulations to our 3 competing divers on the first day: Ivan, Evie and Amy. None of these divers have competed nationally before. Prior to the qualifying events they had barely had the opportunity to compete at all due to the experiences of the past 2 years.

Outstanding

We applaud all those divers competing in Leeds this weekend. Most of whom will be experiencing the same challenges and not just embracing them but rising above them as our divers have done. A particular mention goes to Evie who put in an outstanding performance in such a high scoring Girls C2 event today to place 4th. Our good wishes go to our day 2 divers competing in tomorrow afternoons B+ Girls and Boys events.

And on the second day of the 2022 National Skills Finals we congratulate all 4 of our B+ divers who put in a series of 10 consistent dives across 1m and 3m springboards with Ryan placing 5th, Amelia 7th, Hannah 13th and Finlay 15th. We thank Swim England and the Northeast Region for hosting this event.

It has been a tremendous year nationally for Albatross with 2 silver medals at the British Diving GB Junior Elites, 3 gold, 4 silver and 1 bronze at the Swim England National Age Group Championships and 2 top 6 placings at this weekends Swim England National Skills Finals. We applaud all our divers, parents, coaches, judges and all the organisation behind the scenes that goes into putting on and our participating in these events and look forward to supporting the 4 Nations Teams in a summer of spectacular diving at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
