The Senior team consisting of Christy Sadler Y13 N2, Lara Reed Y13 C5, Sophie Millen, Y12 P7 and Emily Cannon Y12 N7 fought hard in their heats for the Freestyle and Medley to place 12th in both, just missing out on the finals.
The intermediate team didn’t disappoint in their heats where they progressed to the finals in both their medley and freestyle relays. In the freestyle relay, the team of Millie, Lucy, Izzy and Naveesha Karunanayaka Y9 P2 fought hard in the final but just missed out on the medals to place 4th. The medley relay was one of the last of the day and was a truly exciting finish with the top three positions changing throughout the race, but eventually the strength and talent of the team shone through and they comfortably swam through to gain their silver medal to make them the 2nd fastest Inter medley relay team in the country! 74
