Evie Jackson won a silver medal and club record in 50m backstroke and a bronze medal and club record in 200m backstroke.

Coach Elaine Hill said ”I am very proud of our athletes in the way they have competed and all that they have achieved regardless of somewhat adverse conditions at the Ely Paradise pool that have continued to seriously affect our training schedule. They have worked hard and deserve this success – they have to face strong competition from huge clubs throughout the county.”
