3 November 23
In the last weekend of October, a green wave of almost 80 Trafford swimmers descended on Sheffield city centre for the annual master’s short course champs. In an action-packed 3 days of racing, we managed to retain our title of top master’s club in the country with a total of 586 points, over 200 more than 2 nd place.
Our squad depth and breadth of talent, along with our excellent team moral really became evident through no less than 53 relay teams across the weekend, obliterating the competition and countless records.
