A special mention also for Richard Allen who swam superbly to win the 100m backstroke and freestyle relay and he finished 2nd with the team in the medley relay. Michael Harris produced a dominant swim to win gold in the 100m backstroke and took a silver medal in both the relays. Furthermore William Fuller took bronze in the 200m IM and silver medals in both the relays, a feat matched by William Gallagher too. A very successful day for all involved, congratulations to the swimming team!
