The points from the full East District series were added together to award a top boy and girl trophy in each age group. We’re proud to say that Kate Carruthers (13 years) and Erika Coupek (17 and over) were age group winners.
In addition, Alison Grant and Delia Thorley were both signed off in their Judge 1 assessments bringing more success to the club. Well done ladies!
Finally, a huge well done and thanks to everyone who participated, helped out on poolside or at the front desk, managed the livestream, officiated as a timekeeper, judge or starter or coached the swimmers to success. HMASC were definitely well represented.
