COPS head coach Ben Negus said: “We competed against clubs outside of our Eastern Region and were dominant. Our swimmers raised their game against new peer competition.

“I’m really pleased with our progression at this meet. It shows we have plenty of strengths, However, it gave a good insight into addressing our weaknesses too so the coaching staff will be looking at that over the next few weeks to really fine-tune the squad for the upcoming regional and national championships.”
