Once again, the Marlins had an eventful weekend. 

Alice Camplin, Hannah Camplin and Annie Gooch competed at The Special Olympics Yorkshire and Humberside Super Regional Swimming Gala in Leeds on Saturday. 

Alice and Hannah put forward amazing performances with their determination despite both having chest infections, Hannah earned two golds and two silvers, whilst Alice achieved two golds and two bronzes.

Annie also swam very well and made the team proud, picking up two silver medals and gold for the relay.

The Blue Army attended the South Lincs Competitive Swimming Club Autumn Meet at Castle Sports Centre in Spalding.

The race was the first outing for the Marlins in their club kit and it paid off with great performances on the kits debut.

Many swimmers got multiple medals and swam fantastic times. 22 of the March Marlins took to the water with 32 PBs picked up.

One of Marlins' star swimmers, Jude Staton, celebrated his 16th birthday at the race with all the teams singing him happy birthday.

The Marlins then also showed their great team spirit by winning the dance off between the swimming sessions.
