The newly formed group had 7 swimmers entered for individual and
relay events.

well fought swim to take silver medal in the 120+ years Medley

Helen Taylor). The same team of 4 ladies took silver medal in
the 120+ years freestyle relay in the afternoon session. All
four ladies also swam in individual events gaining PBs in many
of their swims.
In the 19/24 age group Mark Baldry and Emily Broadbent achieved
some great times in the many events that they entered. Both
swimmers are still juggling with swimming and university. They
proved in their swims they both still love competing at major
events.

PBs in all 4 events entered, in the morning session winning a
bronze medal in the 50m Backstroke. In the afternoon session
Alan took Silver Medal in the 50m Freestyle.
