Rotherham Metro A & B Grade Open Meet - 14th January

We had seven swimmers competing at the meet, most having their first swim of the year. One exception being Connor Lakin who swam in the Dronfield Diddy gala last week and has now had his first swim at Ponds Forge.

The results were very good. I intentionally did not taper for this meet, as the Derbyshire Championships are the first target of the year.

Rykneld SC, 14th out of 39 clubs.
Alex Thirkell, 4th in the boys overall.
Ainsley Cross,13th in the girls overall
