Logo Competition

Many thanks to those who entered designs and to those people who voted. The winning design is the fish and was drawn by Megan Shackleton. Megan wins a cash prize and the first Tshirt to be produced with the new design.

Invitation Meet

What a night! Great competition, great swimming, great fun. Well done everyone. The results can be found on the website. Wasn’t it great to see Matthew Johnson competing for his original club? Watch for his name in future British competitions


Schools Gala

The schools’ Gala was also a great success. The individual boys 100m Freestyle race was won by our own Josh Berry in a new record time, breaking a time that has stood since 1993. Joanna Gledhill was part of the record breaking girls’ team from Hipperholme and Lightcliffe, and Nick Truelove was part of the record breaking boys’ team from Hipperholme and Lightcliffe. Hipperholme Grammar School team are determined to win the Boys team next year!! Full results are on the website.
