We are delighted to share the news that Year 9 student Hayden B has been crowned Swim North West Regional Champion in the 200m Backstroke. Hayden smashed his PB in a thrilling final, in which he competed against swimmers across the North West, from Cumbria to Merseyside.

Swimming against athletes a year older than him, he was only 0.07 seconds away from qualifying for the Swim England National Finals.

Well done Hayden!
