“This event allowed our members to experience competition once again and we are thrilled that so many took the chance to take part”, she said. “Everyone put in so much effort and the standard was extremely high. We revealed the results during our live stream event which I’m happy to say was a huge success. Some of our top athletes were there to present awards and congratulate the winners which was really special.”
Olympic hopefuls Isabelle Thorpe and Kate Shortman, who made guest appearances during the live stream, gave some inspirational messages for everyone who took part in the event.
“We just want to say a massive well done to everyone who took part in the Level X competition this weekend”, said Thorpe. "It’s really important you keep all your land training work going, consolidating all that hard work we’ve been putting in during lockdown so when we’re back together and we’re getting in the pool, we really make use of all this time”, added Shortman.
Thorpe said: “It’s just a few more weeks to go until you guys can get back in the pool so really keep pushing through this tough time and hopefully you can support us up to the Tokyo Olympic Games.”
Captain of Great Britain’s artistic swimming senior team and reserve to the duet, Daniella Lloyd, also delivered a message to the competitors. “Well done for all your hard work on land, it’s definitely going to pay off. When I got back in the pool after the first lockdown I felt so much stronger and it felt so good to be back in the pool – so just keep going.”
