Steve Cryer said afterwards “It really is an exciting time. The Swindon Dolphin Swim Channel is producing some very good youngsters. We’re focussing on developing the key skills in each stroke and, although they all have a long way to go, the progress is there for all to see. Early days, but the signs indicate a bright future for our up and coming stars.”
