Canvey Sprint Open - Saturday 6th June

We had a great day's swimming at the Canvey Island Summer Sprint Meet, held at Blackshots. 19 Dolphins did us proud - 2 of out younger swimmers, Nicole Hull and Ciaran Geraghty, swimming in an 'open' gala for the first time. A very well organised event - and we came home with plenty of medals and some great PBs!! A total of 29 top 6 placings and 27 PBs recorded! Matt S and Grace came 1st in their respective 50 fly events, and James was 1st in the 50 breast. In addition, Hannah and Matt swam all 5 races available to them and gained 5 'top 6' placings; James, Mat H and Joe also gained top 6 placings in each race they swam and Jaymee and Rebecca swam PB times in all of their races!. See the Open Gala page for the full results.

Colchester Open - Saturday 23rd May
