This year’s Club Championships was held earlier than usual and was registered as a level 4 gala which meant that the times achieved by the swimmers are recorded as official on the ASA website. Another good year with great swims from the youngest to the oldest swimmers and culminating with a number of Championship Records broken and Kent Qualifying Times achieved. Congratulations to every swimmer who participated in the Galas.
