Colchester Open Meet 2011 Full results (including top twenty swimmers): Chelmsford retained the Reg Baines trophy for the best visiting club, with 180.5 points, comfortably ahead of Basildon & Phoenix on 135. Witham Dolphins (63) narrowly edged Clacton (61) into fourth place. However, Chelmsford had their girls to thank for the win. They amassed an incredible 133 points, one-and-a-half times the combined scores of second placed Clacton (50) and third placed Witham Dolphins (39). Basildon & Phoenix's boys dominated in a similar fashion, scoring 114 points to easily eclipse Chelmsford (47.5) and Witham Dolphins (24). Colchester swimmers Laura Stephens (who broke four records) and Philippa Davenall (who broke one record) both won all their five races, so the best girl award was decided on the "tie breaker" and went to Laura as the youngest swimmer. Competition was just as fierce in the boys' event, with last year's winner Spencer Prior of Colchester (who broke one record) and Tyler Berry of Basildon & Phoenix both gaining 29 points out of a maximum 30; Tyler collected the trophy as the youngest swimmer. For the third year in a row, records tumbled across the board - including four which had stood for at least 10 years! In all, seven Colchester swimmers broke records; apart from those mentioned above, Ellie Tripp set three, Jarrod Bradfield and Jim Vickers took two each, and Timothy Tripp got one. Hannah Travell of Chelmsford also helped herself to a new record.

Swimmers aged from 9 to 19 achieved some fantastic PBs at the event, with Colchester swimmers smashing no less than 14 of the 15 meet records to be broken, some of which had stood for a decade. In the girls events, 11 year old Laura Stephens not only won all 5 events in her age group but set 4 records in the 50m freestyle (29.79 seconds), 50m butterfly (31.10), 50m backstroke (33.67) and the 100m IM (1:14.49). Colchester's 12 year old Philippa Davenall also won all her 5 events and swam a fantastic 50m freestyle race to win in 29.19, to smash a record that had stood for eleven years. With both girls on maximum points, the Top Girl trophy was awarded to the younger swimmer, Laura Stephens, pictured receiving her trophy from Griffin Chapman's Stuart Bennett, accompanied by Colchester Swimming Club Chairman, Tony Bush. 14 year old Ellie Tripp swam in 3 events and smashed 3 records in the 100m freestyle (1:01.53), 100m breaststroke (1:16.22) and 100m IM (1:09.21), once again showing her competitive spirit.

Joint Head Coach Michelle Young was delighted with the high standards achieved by her swimmers, "To see so many old records broken was really encouraging as we approach the end of a long season, but the day was also a great opportunity for some of our younger swimmers to show what they can achieve and to book their place on the team for future galas. The team spirit poolside and spectator support were fantastic." Colchester's Gold, Silver and Bronze medal winners were: 11 years 12 years 13 years 14 years 15 years+
