"In total, MSM had 75 swimmers who met the qualifying times needed to enter.”

The success of the club at all levels of the championships is evidenced by three out of the six girls’ age group awards going to MSM swimmers: Constance Logan, ten, Bethany Abrams, 13, and Amelia Stone, 14. Other notable performances included Sophie Shaw, 16, taking the girls’ 16 and over championship title for the 100m.
