St Ives Swimming Club took part in their first open meet since before the pandemic - and a big squad made sure they enjoyed every second of it.
The event, hosted by March Marlins at Whittlesey, saw 39 from St Ives take on the likes of City of Peterborough, Ely, St Neots, Wisbech, Chatteris as well as the hosts.
For some of the younger swimmers it was their first taste of multi-club competition but they swam superbly, many posting best swims and winning many medals to boot.
In total there were 21 golds among 58 medals in total with the event also providing a new and more dynamic aspect to their future race focus and preparation.
