Swim Medley Team in Medal Form

Congratulations to the Brentwood School Junior Boys’ 4x50m Medley team who have been crowned ESSA Regional Champions!

The four-man team - Tobi O, Obalolu B, Rostislav K and Corben G - swam an extremely strong race, setting the pool alight as they competed in last Friday’s ESSA Regional Team Championships. 

The School fielded Junior, Intermediate and Senior Boys’ Swimming Teams in the Watford event and the Junior Boys’ 4x50m Medley team got Brentwood off to a flying start with a winning time of 2:28.24. In the 4x50m Freestyle Relay, the Junior Team won an impressive silver medal and trailed the winning team by just over a second.
 
The Intermediate Team of Rory W, Elliot G, Jacob B, Luca B and Sonny C came 2nd in their Freestyle Relay heat, placing them in a very impressive 8th place overall with a time of 1:59:92. A 3rd place finish in the Medley Relay heat resulted in a 9th place overall with a time of 2:17:30. 

The Senior Team of Angus R, Jacob S, Josh W and Tom B finished 9th place in the Medley Relay with a time of 1:59:94 which was just over five seconds slower than the team finishing in first position. Despite swimming a year out of age group, the Senior team also placed 7th in the Freestyle relay with a time of 1:47:01.
 
Overall, and out of approximately twenty-five competitive teams, collectively Brentwood School finished in 5th place and achieved their highest ever finish in the ESSA Regional Championships. The Junior Boys will now have to wait to see if they have qualified for the prestigious National Finals, which will be held at the London Aquatic Centre on 20th November 2021.
