Black Swan County Qualifier
Staines hosted its Black Swan County Qualifier Open Meet on 7th/8th January for the first time being 2 days to include 200m events. Well done to all the clubs and swimmers who competed.
Staines swimmers travelled the short journey back from Walton with 101 medals and many more personal best times and Middlesex County Qualifying times. The main reason for this competition at this time of year is to allow swimmer the opportunity to gain qualifying times for Counties. Congratulations to all those who added extra times or gained their first ones.
