Well done to our team that attended the 3-day Beckenham International meet over the Easter weekend.  Our 35-strong team competed in 150 races, and despite the really long days and very hot conditions, our swimmers made a concerted effort to cheer each other on to get the best results – it really paid dividends as a whopping 98 of these races returned great PBs and the team came away with 34 medals!
