Despite often destabilizing conditions, between adaptation to tide changes and capricious weather, the competitors managed, at the end of the effort, to express the full extent of their talent, like Aurélie Accary among the women. or Benjamin Farcinade among the men, winners in the flagship 50m senior scratch category
Without forgetting …
The performances of the 11 visually impaired swimmers, who came to compete in a thrilling solo 200m, to the cheers of the crowd and from which Patricia Faroux and Jimmy Morand, both residents of the Eaudemer Le Havre club, emerged as big winners. Congratulations to them ! Finally, note that our youngest junior and cadet athletes, aged only 12 to 15 years old, competed in the 200M pairs girls, boys and mixed categories.
