Very well done to all the swimmers who went to Tamworth. The results will be posted as soon as we get them. Highlights were Leanne’s excitement when she won a medal, Thomas’s speeding ticket for breaking the 20 second barrier in backstroke and finishing a really close second in the mixed relay to an unmixed team!

A really big thank you to Megan Williams who helped to make sure all the swimmers were at their starts on time.

The club’s annual presentation evening will be held this Friday (16th May) after the swim session. All members are welcome.

The AGM is also being held this Friday, attended by the club’s committee members.
