A small swimming cohort achieved a 95% lifetime best time rate in a recent competition.

The 29 swimmers from the March Marlins club competed at the Fenland Open Meet in Whittlesey on Sunday, August 27, with each swimmer improving their personal bests by between 20 seconds and just under a second.

Notable achievements included Finley Terry securing the top overall 12-year-old boy trophy and 14-year-old Bertie Titheridge being the fastest among all male age groups in the 100m Freestyle with a time of 1 minute 3 seconds.

The club said that the swimmers' performances were a great achievement, especially so soon after the recent Junior Fenland League results, and congratulated all the athletes involved for their superb efforts and results.
