Youngsters Claim Title at Junior League Grand Final 2018

The team return from Corby triumphant again after winning the Junior League Grand Final for the sixth time.

Well done to all the swimmers who took part in the Junior Swim League and ensured City of Leeds came out on top in all 3 rounds. The Grand Final was a tense and exciting afternoon with lots of fast racing and fun.  It was great to see you all come together as a team and support each other to the very end. Out of 49 races, City of Leeds bagged 23 1st place finishes, which helped us claim overall victory over second placed Guildford by just 4 points! An outstanding performance by all.


Special mention to Megan Travis (9yrs), Daniel Ransom (10 yrs) and Oliver Brompton (10 yrs) who received top boy and girl awards respectively for their performances in the individual events, some of which were meet records.


Parents, thank you for all the effort that went in to supporting the team; you were all excellent, you looked good and it really helped to motivate the swimmers.


Well done to the swimmers, coaches, team managers, volunteers and supporters for a fantastic event and an outstanding victory.  Thank you also to those swimmers who competed in the first two rounds who contributed in qualifying the A team into the final.
