A new award to recognise the most improved club at the Surrey Age Group Championships has been won by Mitcham Marlins Swimming Club.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Burvill Cup was presented to the swimmers and coaches during a session at Morden Leisure Centre, one of the club’s training hubs in south-west London.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Head coach Tamami Tsujimura was thrilled the club were inaugural winners of the award, pipping Godalming, Redhill & Reigate and Farnham to the top spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said: \u201cWe are a fast-growing, friendly club with big ideas and big ambitions, providing swimming coaching for children from Merton and the surrounding areas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tsujimura also trains and swims competitively as a master for King\u2019s Cormorants SC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surrey County ASA past president Carole Chaplin said the coaches were delighted that she had taken the time to bring them the trophy.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said: \u201cThe swimmers had been told to turn up early ready for photographs and a parent who is a photographer sorted out the arrangement of swimmers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cNicola [the county president] was unable to attend so I borrowed the chain of office and wore it in the photographs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe coaches knew I wasn’t really the president, and the swimmers probably weren’t too bothered who I was, they just liked the chain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Burvill Cup aims to recognise not only the improvement in athlete performance but also the hard work of the clubs and coaching teams behind the athletes.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is in honour of the late Julie Burvill, who many will remember as a key volunteer of swimming in the county and Woking SC.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
