Congratulations to all our swimmers who swam on Saturday at Plymouth.
A fantastic team effort. Well done!!

Having said that, everyone gave their all and there were some fantastic personal bests and some very exciting close races. We finished 5th against some tough opposition. The next round is on Saturday November 8th - venue to be advised.
