Student achievement. On behalf of the department, we congratulate Ms Rhea Howard and her team to winning the European Championship Bronze Medal in artistic swimming. Rhea is a final year MA student in R+T and managed to study at the same time as she was professionally training for the competition. In her own words she reports the event: "I competed at the European Aquatics Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. The competition took place in June, we were away for 10 days training and competing. I was a member of the team representing GB, we swam two team routines a technical and a free and came away with the bronze medal for this. It was GB artistic swimming’s most successful Europeans ever – which was really fun!"
