Head Coach Martin Littlefair had this to say:
We are amazing to see how the progression of master swimming has progressed over the years especially since Covid where it was something that looked at maybe something that would need to give. The membership over the years has grown and we have a real strong and positive master community which is creating not only County champions but British champions and record holders. To top it all off for the club to win the Dorset master top club trophy is a credit to our coaching team, Masters rep Ellie and the group of amazing swimmers we have in the club.
Well done swimmers once again and thank you to all the helpers and officials that make it possible.
