Portsmouth Northsea's Gemma Spofforth won the Womens 100m Backstroke Final at Ponds Forge this morning to become British Champion and win a place on Team GB at this summer's Beijing Olympic Games.
Spofforth set a new British Record in yesterday's heats to become one of five swimmers reaching the required standard for Olympic Nomination. With just two places on offer the final was hard fought but Spofforth went under a minute for the second time in 24 hours to secure nomination. Team mate Katy Sexton missed out on nomination after finishing third to Elizabeth Simmonds (Lincoln).
Update: Spofforth today claimed a second Olympic nomination after finishing second in the final of the 200m Backstroke.

An Integrated Approach to Swimming
The ASA South East Region Swimming Management Group will have a broad remit, covering all aspects of competitive and leisure swimming and integrating Disability and Open Water Swimming into a single “Whole Sport” strategy, incorporating
- Learn to swim programmes and school club links
- Competition
- Encouragement of excellence through special camps for Junior and Youth Potential Squads and Coach education
- Lifelong participation, including the growth of Masters swimming and swim-fit programmes
Disability Swimming
In line with the recommendations of the ASA, the South East Region will adopt a dual approach in support of disability swimming.- Disabled swimmers will be encouraged to swim alongside able-bodied swimmers in “mainstream” competitions; multi-disability events will be included in Regional championships.
- Specialised disability events will be used to encourage the growth of disability swimming.
Licensed Meets
The South East Region’s responsibility for competition will extend to ensuring that all swimmers have the opportunity to compete at their own level, through the provision of appropriate licensed meets.
Where there is a need, the Region will support meets that are not financially viable.
