Our first Club Night under the new format and I think all who participated would say that it was a success. Our youngest competitor (8 years) was Leo Cosgrove who put in an extraordinary effort to swim his first ever 50m Butterfly. Well done!

A special welcome also for Adam Khalil who joined in on the night and, did some very fine swimming! Read More
