Boston Swimming Club took 39 swimmers to Coventry for their annual end-of-season open meet. This meet provided many swimmers with their only chance in the season to experience and compete in a 50m pool.

Trophies were awarded for the top three place finishes in each race per age group as well as a Bagcat award for the overall top boy and girl in each age group for points collected throughout the day.

Although many of the swimmers were just off their best form as regard to personal best times this did not prevent Boston picking up 30 firsts, 24 second and 19 third place finishes to claim the top team award for the open meet.

Luke Jones (12) and Susannah Yielding (13) both won their respective age groups.

With seven swims on the day, Luke produced an outstanding series of races when picking up race wins in the 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke and 100m backstroke, coupled with three second place finishes.

Susannah had nine races, winning the 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke, 200m butterfly and 200m individual medley and also achieving two second place finishes.

Other swimmers to feature highly in their age groups were George Hobbins (10), Amber Nuttman (11), Oliver Street (13) and Joseph Howe (14), who all finished second and Bethany Holderness (9) who finished in third place.

After such a successful meet, the swimmers can now recharge their batteries over the summer break, with a reminder that training starts again on September 1 for another busy season.
