Unfortunately we weren't able to put many relay teams in, however the 14u teams managed to collect 3 medals between them, two silvers for the boys (free and medley) and a gold for the girls (medley).


Well done to Lizzie Woodcock for winning the top 12yr old girl award for the highest amount of FINA points obtained in a single event!

She was closely followed by 5 other swimmers who made the top 3 - Jack H , Jack D and Anna D finished 2nd and Bradley and Chloe finished in 3rd place. There were 13 of our swimmers who finished in the top 10.   

And finally - points are accrued from the fastest finishers in each event to give a points total for each club at the end of the meet.  Chorley finished a very creditable 3rd place only 11.5 points behind 2nd!! A great improvement on last year when we were 6th. A huge well done to all the swimmers who made this possible, not just down to the medallists!
