Brooke Turner at British Swimming Championships 2003.
Brooke competed on Saturday morning in event 45, the 100m freestyle. She competed in the prelims but failed to make it into the finals. Given Brooke's age, she did fanatically well even to just qualify for the Championships. Brooke is becoming a recognised quality swimmer on the national stage and will no doubt be representing her country soon. Well done Brooke from all the Dolphins.

Havering Sports Council Awards
The under 15 year old finalists had been whittled down to the last three competitors and Alex, being the youngest finalist at just 11, was up against stiff opposition from young sportsmen dedicated to their chosen sport. Alex was quoted as being "the all-rounder" as a summary of his achievements was read out citing such sports as Football, Karate and of course, Swimming. Not bad considering these were his previous year’s achievements at the tender age of just 10. Alex said he aims to go one better next year and take top honour.
Alex would like to say a special thanks to Richard Burridge, Shuhari-Kai Karate Club Sensei, and Havering Dolphins coaches Bill Dyer, Julie Barnes and Lynette Dyer, for all their encouragement and support. |

David Soall makes a splash! Havering Dolphin David Soall achieved 3 Certificates at the Romford and District Cub Swimming Event helping his Cub Pack into third place out of 12 competing Packs. David took the honors in the 8-years Freestyle one-width and one-length Freestyle events and 9-years Backstroke event. It was neck and neck in the Backstroke event, but David won when the other Cub stopped to see where the wall was. Of course, David just kept going till the end to claim top spot, all due to his excellent training. David also took part in the one-length Breaststroke event but was not placed. Due to his excellent performance he was asked to swim the final length in the relay race at the end of the competition. He tried very hard but unfortunately could not make up the distance that had been left by his team mates.
David’s overall performance was excellent, considering the Cubs ages ranged from 8 to 11 years, David shone as one of the brightest stars competing. David’s parents said to the Dolphins Coaches "We were very proud and he was really pleased with himself. Thank you for all that you have done for David you deserve to know how well he performed. He looked fantastic in the water and was definitely a credit to the Havering Dolphins." |
