Well done to all 5 swimmers who competed at this prestigious event. Higher level than a Regional, actually the best from 3 Regions came together to compete; South East, London, South West. The same was happening in Corby and Sheffield.

Alex Murphy, Shannon Motha, Jamie Goldstone, Oliver Ripley and Danny Amphlett managed to get to this event.

All coped with a long journey to Millfield School, in Glastonbury and competed in an unfamiliar 50m pool and gained amazing experience of high level competition.

Gold went to Alex Murphy (16yrs) for his 100m breaststroke.

Not Only Medals and Pb’s, but County Times And Regional Times Gained At Maxwell Last Chance!
