CHRIS Sims booked his place at the ASA National Summer Championships with a superb display in Crawley.

The Didcot Barramundi swimmer, 13, took silver in the 50m breaststroke in 34.52secs at the South East Region Championships.

He also won bronze in the 100m and 200m breaststroke, earning a place at Sheffield in August.

Ben Titchener, 13, finished fourth in the 100m freestyle, while Nick Sims, 15, was sixth in the 200m individual medley.

Ben Newell, Alfie Baum and Isabelle Langley also competed.

Meanwhile, Abingdon Vale have acquired two AquaCam Coach-Comm kits, allowing coaches to communicate directly with swimmers wearing waterproof headsets.

Vale’s head coach Amanda Ford said: “We’ll be able to tweak stroke technique and provide encouragement directly one-to one or to a group.”
