Derventio eXcel's Ben Goodall won GOLD medals in the regional and county championships at Lake Bosworth today in the Open Water Competition.
Ben who is an England Talent Distance and Open Water athlete swam in his first ever open water competition today. The distance was 1500m, a race he normally relishes in the pool and under the very different and challenging conditions of the open water lake translated the pool success into the lake.
Ben was very pleased with his swim and really enjoyed the race, and is now looking to entering varying distances in the open water.
England Talent Open Water Coaches Alan Bircher and Andy Sharp also commented on the excellent job Ben did on his first outing showing both continued potential in the pool and future potential out of the pool.
Kathryn Roworth was the only other swimmer to race in the open water again in the 1500m. Kathryn was also on her first time out in Open Water and won a Silver medal in the County Championships.
WELL DONE BEN AND KATHRYN
Both swimmers and spectators had a great morning out and Ben and Kathryn look forward to entering more Open Water events.
