Paul Partington (65-69 age group) won gold in the 400 IM and bronze in the 800 F/S and 400 F/S
Rosemary Johnson (75-79 age group) won gold in the 200 F/S, silver in the 400 F/S
Adele Parham (45-49 age group) won 5th place in the 400IM and 6th in the 800 F/S
John Anderson (60-64 age group) won 5th place in the 100 BR/S and 6th place in the 200 BR/S

The group are delighted with their swims and training now continues at a variety of pools including the Oxley Sports centre, Wincanton Sports Centre and Goldenstones. They will all be competing, along with other members of the club at the Europeans in May with hope for more success.
