Elena Sheridan - From 'Learn to Swim' to County Senior Record Holder
Elena Sheridan joined RTSC's Learn to Swim Programme at the age of 5, progressing to D Squad when she was 9 years old. Last week, still aged only 14, Elena took on the country's best 14 and 15 year olds at the National Youth Championships in Sheffield.
Despite being one of the youngest swimmers in her category, Elena still managed to win a bronze medal in the 200m Butterfly final and to reach the 400m Individual Medley and 100m Butterfly finals.
Along the way, Elena improved two of her existing Essex Junior records, set a new Breaststroke Junior record and set two new Essex Senior Records:
- 200m Butterfly
- Heat - 2:18.24 Essex Junior Record
- Semi - 2:17.31 Essex Junior Record
- Final - 2:16.64 Essex Junior & Senior Record (2000 record)
- 200m Breaststroke
- Heat - 2:42.35 Essex Junior Record (1996 record)
- 100m Butterfly
- Heat - 1:03.79 - Essex Junior Record
- Final - 1:03.70 - Essex Junior & Senior Record (2009 record)
Elena will be in action again next week at the final Commonwealth Trials/(senior) Nationals in Sunderland. Followed by a trip to Sunderland again for the UK School Games over the first weekend of September.
Well Done, Elena!
