Bushell retains title

Amersham swimmer Michelle Bushell retained her Welsh title in the 100 metres backstroke at the Welsh National Championships last weekend.

Bushell, who now swims for Ealing SC, had no problems holding onto the title as she swept through the heats before claiming the final with a time of 65 seconds.

The 18-year-old Bucks swimmer also took silver in the 200m backstroke after being beaten by just over a second by the Welsh record holder.
