M&B March Meet 2025

Lynsey Cook

A hugely successful meet for our swimmers with lots of opportunities to race and plenty of medals up for grabs.

We had close to 80 swimmers competing in our first M&B March Meet for 6 years and the whole team excelled.

Saturday’s session was the turn of our 12 & unders and out of a possible 30 gold medals available we managed to win 20 of them!

In total we came away with 20 Golds, 15 silvers and 17 bronze medals. While the medals were good, the personal best rate was even better! Over the 5 events we managed to record personal bests in 89% of all our races!!!

Gold (20): Arra 50fly; Emily T 50fly; Maisy 50fly; Joshua T 50fly 50br; Ella H 50bc 50br 50fc; Nuala 50bc 50br; Fay 50bc 50br; Ray 50bc 50fc; Angus 50bc; Mai 50fc 100im; Alba S 50fc 100im; Ghillie 100im.

Sunday’s session was a lot quieter meaning they got through all 5 races in 70 mins which meant it was a bit harder to recover and still produce personal best times. But to the team’s credit we still managed to come away with a pb rate of 71% and we won 13 golds, 10 silvers and 8 bronze medals.

Gold (13): Euan 50fly; Kerr 50fly 50bc 50fc 100im; Sophie 50bc; Oscar 50bc 100im; Gemma 50br; Jess 50br; Robbie 50br; Peter 50br; Alex 50fc.

Silver (10): Gemma 50fly 50bc; Robbie 50fly 100im; Sarah 50bc; Euan 50bc; Oscar 50br; Erin 50fc; Ethan 50fc; Peter 50fc.

Bronze (8): Olivia 50fly; Erin 50fly; Alex 50fly; Kerr 50br; Sophie 50fc; Gemma 100im; Sarah 100im; Euan 100im.
