Congratulations to all who swam at the Cambridge Summer Meet last Sunday. In total we took 12 golds, 18 silvers, and 14 bronze medals as well as a number of speeding tickets, two age group winners and 3 British records! This huge tally of medals earned the club 'top visiting club' title and a splendid cup for our efforts. Steven Peddle and Freddy Cassford took top swimmers within their age groups and Emma Hollis broke 3 British records in her disability classification.
It was a great day for all who attended and all should be proud of their many achievements. We await the arrival of this rather large cup following a minor repair job!
Thanks to Cambridge for their hospitality, support to our swimmers and their generous congratulations!
  

Well that was a turn up for the books!  We actually won a mini league!! With a great team consisting of 20 swimmers - some competing in their first gala - right from the beginning of the gala we were shocked to hear that we were actually scoring as we were so used to hearing the words "Epping Forest - time faulted". We were in 2nd place right from the start and things just got better and better! To hear that we were the winning club was fantastic!! Unfortunately the host club didn't realise they were supposed to provide a trophy though - we'll gladly accept a belated one when you get it!  Well done everyone, excellant job!
