Notable Masters Swimmers Martin Hailes and Lawrence Lowman

Ponds Forge International Swimming Pool in Sheffield was the venue for the ASA National Masters Swimming Championships in which two of Beccles Kingfishers’ senior swimmers competed.

Lawrence Lowman (25-29yrs age group) and Martin Hailes (40-44yrs age group) represented the club at this prestigious event, and with the European Masters Champs in May approaching, 1,200 other swimmers decided to join them to witness new World, European, National and Regional records being smashed.
