Assistant coach Joe Middleton said ‘ This was an amazing learning opportunity for COPS members to display race skills developed during training.
“And across the club, our members rose to the challenge, racing in multiple events including the 400m Individual Medley, 1500m Freestyle, 50m Butterfly and Breaststroke and 200m Individual Medley, 200m Freestyle & 200m Backstroke.
“Our members faced this challenge head on, with enthusiasm to collect some impressive finishes.”
