Swindon Dolphin added another six senior and five junior triumphs to their tally, with James Clark again in fine form. He secured senior championship victories in the individual medley, breaststroke and butterfly, all over 200m.

Dolphin’s women claimed all the 200m senior championship titles on offer with Charlotte Pitts, Charlotte Gardo and Lauren Matthews taking gold in the medley, breaststroke and butterfly respectively.
