At 85 years young, Roger Crannage continues to raise the bar for Staffordshire Masters, setting an incredible five new Open category records — a truly inspirational performance.

58 years his junior Sadie Turner made history by becoming the first woman in Staffordshire, aged 18 or over, to break the one-minute barrier for the 100m freestyle. This is a remarkable milestone. Sadie finished the year with an outstanding five county records.

Ian Hicks had  four record-breaking swims

Lindsey Gowland and Kath Tunnicliffe – three county records each

Jennifer Powell and Athene Schur both claimed two county records,

Lynn Dawson, Sean Wilding, John Done, Tony Ward, and Richard Woodall bagged a record apiece 

These performances highlight the depth, longevity and quality of the BCPM’s swim club.

Thanks to Staffordshire Records Secretary Catherine Roe for her continued work in maintaining the county records.
