Otters Pip Bennett, Ed Buckley and James Manning recently competed in the English Aquathlon Championships (750m swim, 5km run) in Nottinghamshire at the Sywell Aquathlon (Sunday 19 June). It was a strong Otter performance as all medalled in their respective age groups with Pip taking Gold in the 40-44 age group, despite having to vault a closed gate during the run and getting a nasty wound on his arm. Ed and James took silver in their age groups, 45-49 and 25-29 respectively. The event was a good warm up for Pip and Ed before the British Aquathlon Championships in July and the Worlds in Slovakia for Pip later this year.
