Thanet Swim Club

Maisie Macartney represented GB at the World Junior Open Water Championships in Eilat, Israel on Thursday 6th September.  Maisie completed the gruelling 7.5km race in FOURTH place, having battled throughout in the leading pack with US, Italian and Spanish swimmers.  Maisie’s tough training regime throughout the summer certainly paid off, she was in the mix right from the start, with places changing throughout the race, she even took a stint in the lead. Maisie’s finish time was 1 hour and 33 minutes, and at the end, just 1.7 seconds separated 2nd to 4th places.

The club would like to wish Maisie GOOD LUCK at the WORLD open water championships in Eilat, Israel over the 7th-9th September.  This is Maisie’s 3^rd consecutive summer racing with the GB junior open water team – she’s going from strength to strength.
Maisie recently competed at the European Juniotr Open Water Championship and finished her race in 10th place.  She also won the Great Scottish Swim Women’s Elite race.
