Young Shark impressing

A Welshpool swimmer is competing at the Welsh Summer Open in Swansea this week.

Cari Jones, 13, a member of Welshpool Sharks Swimming Club, was invited to take part in the Open after competing in the North Wales Regional Competition over two gruelling weekends in February.

Cari impressed Swim Wales in the Backstroke and will be competing in both the 50 metres and 100 metres Backstroke.

Head Coach Alan Webster said: “The Club is proud of Cari and it is so well-deserved as she works hard every training session and has been putting in a lot of extra work in preparation. We all wish her well.”
