From the start Marlins showed great team spirit and support, Personal best times came in abundance and we held the lead from start to finish.

Marlins dominated the relays throughout the night showing our depth of quality culminating in victories in both the men’s and women’s 6 X 50m squadron relays.

There were many highlights and great swims individually but the most impressive thing is how the whole team gave 100 % and came together for a great victory, 18 points clear of second place finishers Maidenhead.

This result puts Marlins in a great position (joint first in the league) going into round two on the 14th November.
