For most of the team it was there first time racing in a 50m pool, the club returned home with a collection of medals and every member of the team contributed to the overall point score. The club achieved 5th place out of 19 clubs from all over the country, Woolacoombe from North Devon won the event. Chris Hewitt youth manager “I am very proud of the team, we had a very young side, they all put 100% into their swims. There was a great team spirit between all the competitors, I would like to thank all the parents for their support on the day.”
