before spectators start ranting please remember everyone running County Championships is a volunteer.
The pool only has 240 seats so we can only let 240 people in at a time. The volunteers try to get as many in as possible so please dont be rude to them
Very proud of all our swimmers today at intercounties- some amazing early season pbs, fantastic technique and team spirit coming 7th in Division 2. Thanks to all who helped out

We are awaiting advice/guidance on what we can/should do and as soon as we have a steer on it we will be acting accordingly.
