Swimmers make Wales schools squad

Two Welshpool swimmers have made it into the Wales squad to compete in the 2016 Sainsbury's School Games.

Morgan Jones, who swims with Oswestry Otters, and Tom Pigott (pictured), who is with Shrewsbury ASC, will compete in the multi-sport event for the UK's elite young athletes of school age.

The competition re-enforces the experience of Olympic and Paralympic Games and provide a springboard for athletes to compete at International levels.

Both boys already compete at a National level and will be competing this summer for top honors with Morgan at the Welsh 16 years Championships and Tom in the ASA paraswimming Championships.

Tom will be competing for his third time and Morgan will now join Tom on the list of elite swimmers from the Welshpool area selected to swim for Wales.
