Annual Club Gala
The Annual Club Gala was held on Sunday 21st June and was very well attended, with 90 swimmers competing in over 100 events across all age groups, from 4 years old to open age.
There were five swimmers that broke club records during the gala, and many more that came extremely close.
All swimmers and spectators enjoyed a great afternoon, and the club thanks them all for their participation, enthusiasm, and contribution.
Raffle money raised £178. Thanks to everyone who bought a ticket, as this will help pay for all the medals on our presentation night, to be held at St Marks Hall on the 25th September.
