Katie Dawkins: 'Team GB synchronised swimming team still has work to do'

Team GB synchro swim coach wants improvement

Great Britain synchronised swimming coach Katie Dawkins has expressed her happiness at reaching the free combination final at the European Games in Baku, but admitted that there is still work to do.

Continental heavyweights Russia, Spain and Ukraine dominated the top positions, but Team GB also progressed after ranking 10th in the preliminaries with a score of 74.900.

"Presentation probably could have been better in the second half, that's what we really need to work on and we know that," Dawkins told the Team GB website.

"That's just a fitness thing, getting the girls to train the routine as much as possible and do presentation at training all the time, which we don't always do. That's something to focus on.

"The patterns, which were a big focus for us, were much better. So we're really happy, we've just got a few things to sort out for the final."

Dawkins and her team will be in action in the final on Tuesday June 16.
