Congratulations to all swimmers who took part in the Diddy League this year. We've come 2nd in all 3 galas which has resulted in 7th overall out of 24 clubs in division 1 (54 clubs altogether). Unfortunately, we have just missed out on a place in the final, but it is an amazing result and you should all be very proud of this. I'd also like to thank the volunteers who have helped at each the events - there has been quite a steep learning curve for some but we have had great feedback on the organisation of the home events.
Well done all. Some good times and 5 swimmers qualified for the National Open Water Championships!
