Our fabulous team had an amazing weekend at .

We couldn’t do it without our coaches, Ben, Bex and Paula! Thankyou for all of your support, encouragement and organisation.

A huge congratulations to all of our athletes who raced across the weekend. The club finished 4th overall in the medal table, which is an amazing achievement for a small club in Crowborough. Every single swim, relay, and effort contributed to that result.

Thank you also to all of our parents who took turns to timekeep, officiate and help on poolside. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who travelled, supported, cheered, organised, and helped make the weekend such a success.

Huge congrats to our amazing competitors who stood out in their age groups:
🥈 2nd — Alfie
🥉 3rd — Isla & Harry
