The club had 27 swimmers take part, after successfully qualifying for the Championships – which took place over three weekends in January and February.

From the boy’s that competed, George Grech won four bronze’s, while Alex Munro and William Hughes won one bronze medal apiece.

“I’m so proud of what this magnificent group of swimmers have achieved.
“Their hard work and dedication in training has paid off, and I’m so delighted with how they supported and cheered each other on throughout.
