Swimmers from March, Biggleswade, Huntingdon and St Neots converge for development meeting at Whittlesey

March Marlins hosted their first Development Meet at Manor Leisure, in Whittlesey, on Saturday with swimmers competing from clubs in March, Biggleswade, Huntingdon and St Neots.

It was a great opportunity for the swimmers to be brave and start their racing journeys as they strive to build more confidence in the water.

March representatives competed in 112 races in total and achieved a remarkable 88 personal best times.

One of the young super swimmers, Beth Staton, 9, competed in five races and achieved an impressive five personal best times to earn five shiny medals.

It wasn't just the March swimmers who enjoyed the event with many other clubs expressing their excitement to return to competing again.

As well as the committee members and parents who have repeatedly given up their time to support the event, some older swimmers helped to put on this wonderful race by taking courses to timekeep and providing crucial contributions to the club.
