Maxwell Juniors Return to the Top
After 6 weeks of highly competitive swimming the Aylesbury and Buckingham based Maxwell Swim Club’s junior team triumphed at the Oxon and North Buckinghamshire county championship. The junior championship, competed for by 9-13 years old swimmers, was won by Maxwell for the first time since 2012, beating City of Milton Keynes and Oxford into second and third place respectively.
Head coach Noel Horton commented, “I am so proud of all of the swimmers and coaches who have made remarkable progress over the last two years.” Noel also noted that “the success of our county, regional and national level swimmers is matched by fabulous progress at every level of ability within the club. Maxwell swimmers all show great teamwork, hard work and a positive attitude. In this environment success always follows”
Maxwell’s victory in the junior division was followed up with third place in the overall competition, up one place from last year. Maxwell has continued to rebuild under coach Horton, and this year increased the number of events in which Maxwell had swimmers competing from 371 in 2019 to 477 swims in 2020. In total they made the rostrum seventeen times. Gracie Hudson, Poppy Baybutt, Rowan Cyster, Imogen Walton and Izzy Ford won multiple podium positions for the girls. Sam Pyefinch and Jamie Prince’s podium positions were the high lights of a strong showing from the boys.
In total Maxwell won 96 individual age group medals, 40 Gold, 26 Silver and 30 Bronze.
