Kent County Championships 2008
The Club’s overall results for 2008 were a total of 66 Top Six Placings and 3 National Times and a number of swims coming close to national times - one being missed by just 0.06 of a second!
The Club finished 10th in the Mens Points and 13th in the Womens Points which is a fantastic achievement.
A total of 54 Personal Bests were also attained during the course of the Championship. In addition, the relays produced some great splits from each swimmer and were fantastic to watch.
Congratulations to all the swimmers and thanks to all the parents for their support and encouragement, and to the coaches for all their input.
