BUDE Sharks prove that hard work and commitment really does pay as their members won a huge haul of medals at Bodmin the weekend before last.

The team consisting of Ella Seddon, Adam Roebuck, Ryan Chadwick, Caja Sibley, Ed French, Verity Lynes, Alex Moore, Ellie O’Brian, Jackson Ward, Freya Roper, Mia Chalkley, Isla Cann Houghton and Myah Swart put in a fantastic performance with many of them winning medals and achieving personal bests.

Ryan, Ella, Alex and Ed were all rewarded with silver and bronze medals, Adam won golds and Caja and Freya were also in the medals.

Coach Maggie Davies spoke afterwards about the team’s performance.

She said: “Our swimmers were awesome, they did themselves and their club proud. Their achievements show just how committed and dedicated they are and as their coach I am so very very proud.”

The children all train at Splash in Bude and anybody interested in joining the club is welcome to contact [email protected].
