2023 National Age Group Championships

An excellent start for the Albatross team yesterday with new PBs for all those competing and a gold medal for Joe in the A Boys 1m. The 2023 National Age Group Championships 2023 saw a 5 strong team of Fin, Joe, Meah, Naya and Hannah take to the Sheffield boards supported by coaches Chris and Malcolm for this 4 day event. Showcasing their new tracksuits in the parades the team once again demonstrated how, despite training challenges and exam pressures, focus and determination backed by a strong support network of coaches, committee and parents, the club continue to be a competitive and podium presence at divings national events.

Personal Best performances were given by all, whether experienced at this level of competition or new to event having been at Swim England National Skills last year. Showcasing both their new dives and those that have improved significantly in recent weeks as they have stepped up their competition training the divers all performed well with Joe excelling by becoming the 3rd Albatross diver to take the “triple” gold on all 3 boards joining Edward and James before him.

We thank Swim England for their organisation of the 2023 National Age Group Championships and Sheffields Ponds Forge for hosting.
