29 January 2010

A Southbank Westminster student achieved second place at an international swimming competition.

Competing at various distances in both freestyle and butterfly strokes, Reut Benaim gained a silver medal in the under-17 100m butterfly event at the three-day Geneva Long Course International meeting on January 15-17.

Reut was competing for London against French, German, Italian and Swiss cities. Her time of 1:04.38 was a personal best under the new international specifications for swimwear, which eliminate artificial assistance to the swimmer.
