Congratulations to Bran A, who has been crowned the Hampshire County Champion 2025 in the 50m, 100m, and 200m breaststroke at the Long Course Championships held last weekend at Winchester Sports Centre.
Bran’s success doesn't stop there—he also won silver in the medley relay alongside his Bluefins teammates and secured a bronze medal in the 200m individual medley (IM). Not only did he achieve personal best times in all his swims, but he also made history by breaking the Bluefins Club records in the 50m, 100m, and 200m breaststroke—some of which had remained untouched since 2009!
It’s incredible to think that just last year, Bran was a newcomer to the County Championships, thrilled simply to make it to the finals against seasoned competitors.
This year, he returned stronger, faster, and more determined than ever—defeating the very swimmers he once looked up to and finishing as a champion!
Bran’s journey is a true testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. His achievements inspire us all to chase our goals with passion and commitment.
Well done, Bran!
