Wisbech swimmers start 2024 Fenland League in fine style

Wisbech Swimming Club started the 2024 Junior Fenland League dominantly in a quest to retain their title which they won last September.

Competing at Huntingdon in the first gala of a new campaign, they were up against Huntingdon, St Neots and Bottisham.

This was the first time some of the younger swimmers had represented Wisbech but they were not fazed by the event with Wisbech ending the night in first place with 162 points, which was a 50-point winning margin.

From the 45 races, the team achieved 32 personal best times with 13 cut-times being broken, and 32 first-place finishes.

Bagging first places were: Adam Chuchra (4), Morgan Arthur (4), Jacob Hicks (2), Arabella Tysterman (2), Harrison Otter (3), Oscar Muller (3), Holly Smith (2), Esmai Smith (2), Jensen Stevens (2), Kevin Sorokin (2), Lilly Wright, Maisie Bishop, Marcus Valente, Race Elmer, Shay Connolly and Esa-Rose Condon.

The night was completed for the team with first place in the 8x50m Squadron.

Wisbech go into the next round at Huntingdon in May.
