Brothers Swimming

Last weekend saw a strong Brothers contingent compete in the BSA long/course championships at Chandler aquatic centre.

While most swimmers are in the middle of a hard training block, times were very impressive and many early summer season PB’s were posted on the way to a very healthy medal haul of:
