We are thrilled to announce that the Brockwell Swimmers team won bronze at the delayed annual Club Relays which took place Thursday evening 1st August. This was helped by the fact that there were only three teams. However this was an achievement in itself, as the club only had four weeks to plan the event and many swimmers are on holiday this time of year. We hope in 2020 we can go back to our usual slot of the last Thursday in May and invite more teams.

Races started prompt at 8pm with six four-person relays followed by one ten-person squadron relay. Other clubs represented were our local Windrush Triathlon club and the Serpentine Swimmers. Each team had around thirteen swimmers which totaled roughly forty competitors in the water. It was great to see the Lido open and utilised when it would otherwise have been closed.

First place went to Windrush who won an impressive four of the seven races; second went to Serpentine who won two; and third (not last) came our thirteen strong Brockwell Swimmers team winning one race. Special admiration goes to Megan and Lizzie who each swam a length of butterfly. Impressive stuff.

A big thanks to everyone who took part and helped make this a very special evening of fun swimming.
