Swimmers achieving PB's were as follows:
James Searles - 100 Free.

Under the watchful eyes of Lisa Dixon and Cheryl Turner a large number of Dolphins swimmers recently competed in an Open Meet at Eckington.
The weather was beautiful and a good day was had by all, with many of our swimmers achieving personal best times.
Dolphins finished second overall to the home club Eckington, with Leanna Turner and Lucy Parkin sharing the joint, top girl award.
Midlands Youth Championships
Five Dolphin swimmers have recently swum in the Midlands Youth Championships. To compete in this event the swimmers have to achieve a qualifying time for the event in the last 6 months.

Rachel won the 18years and over 50 metres back, 100 metres back and 100 metres free.
James won the 17-18years 50 metres free and came 3rd in the 100 metres free.
Ben and James also swam for the Nova relay teams at 100metres and 200metres free and both teams look as if they will compete at the National Youth Championships in August.
