The team members ranged in age from 17 to 62. Despite the diversity in age, each competitor demonstrated a shared love for the sport, showcasing the enduring appeal and inclusivity of swimming as a lifelong activity.
A team of 14 younger swimmers also attended a development meet hosted by City of Peterborough Swimming Club, with each stroke these budding athletes demonstrated a hunger for success and a determination to excel. Their performances served as a reminder of the importance of nurturing talent at a grassroots level and providing opportunities for growth and development within the sport.
