Two March Marlins swimmers, Connor and Harry Rickard, competed at the Great Britain Deaf Swimming Club Annual Championship held at Loughborough University.

Both athletes delivered outstanding performances: Harry won four gold medals in the 50m races across all strokes, while Connor earned two gold medals in the 50m Breaststroke and Freestyle. He also received the Category A award for the most improved swimmer of the year—for the second year in a row.

Meanwhile, 19 Marlins took part in the West Norfolk Swimming Club Development Gala in King’s Lynn.

Several swimmers were new to competition, but they demonstrated incredible courage and effort, achieving an impressive 48 personal bests out of 69 races.
