Summer feelings at the regional summer championships!

Sophia Walker competes on 20 June 2026 with her Limmat Sharks team at the regional summer championships in Winterthur and is in top form.

Sophia Walker starts in the 12-13 year old female swimmers age group at the regional summer championships. The focus is on preparation for the upcoming junior Swiss championships. Routine, improvements, team spirit and drinking enough water are called for at almost 40 degrees. In the 50 m breaststroke Sophia won in 35.95 seconds and in the 100 m breaststroke in 1:17.79 as well. Added to this were silver medals in the 200 m breaststroke (2:50.92), 200 m individual medley (2:42.16) and 400 m individual medley (5:50.12). In the 100 m freestyle (1:05.86) and 100 m butterfly (1:16.74) she placed 4th each time. In total Sophia Walker stood on the podium five times.

The regional summer championships in Winterthur offered the young swimmers from the region a good opportunity to test their form before the summer break.

Sophia's note; Lots of sunscreen, yay broke the 36s mark in the 50B breaststroke and got through my first 400 individual medley in the big pool. Proud. Butterfly is so hard.
