A spokesperson for the club said: “The atmosphere was fantastic, with swimmers, coaches, and volunteers coming together to deliver a fantastic weekend of racing. A special highlight of the meet was the awarding of ‘speeding tickets’ – a recognition given to swimmers who exceed the upper qualifying time for their event.”
One member, Noah Carter, achieved speeding tickets in all six of his events: 100m Freestyle, 100m Breaststroke, 100m Butterfly, 200m Backstroke, 100m Backstroke, and 50m Butterfly.
