Quote

Club Chairman, Craig Lee, said "for a "small club" we had a great weekend in the water. The weekend will be very memorable especially as every swimmer secured Personal Bests. To get Personal Bests and perform as they did at this level is a credit to the swimmers and head coach Carly Herbert.  To get so many medals, top tens and PBs is immense but just as important was the team spirit of the swimmers poolside."
