Nine clubs win team medals as Synchro Masters delivers big scores

November 16, 2019

Nine different clubs won team medals at the Swim England Synchronised Swimming National Masters Championships.

Brighton Dolphin were the only club to win multiple titles in the team events as they took out the 40-64 Combination Team event and the 50-64 Team gold medal.

The combo team edged out Rugby by less than half a point, winning with a total of 51.1000 points.

In the Team event, a superb Free Team swim helped Anne Long, Gaye Greely, Linda Doidge and Margaret Hamerton break the 100-point mark to add gloss to their gold medal.

The Dolphin quartet scored 49.4020 for their technical routine earlier in the day, before adding 51.4667 points with their final swim of the day.

The second of the two Combination Team events was won by Aqualina Synchro Club, who topped the podium in the 25-39 age group.

Aqualina scored  58.0667 points to headline a competitive field, with Halifax winning silver and Portsmouth and District wrapping up the bronze medal.

Rushmoor shine

Rushmoor capped off another superb National Masters Championships with their seventh gold medal of the day in the 35-49 Team event.

They looked to have the title wrapped up following a strong technical routine, but they went even better with their free routine to close the competition with 116.3216 points.

Seymour’s seventh medal of the day came in the 25-34 age group, as they won gold with the highest team score of the day – 119.0373 points.

Kingston Ladies picked up silver for their fourth medal of the day, while Cheltenham claimed their first medal of the Championships to complete the podium.
