If you are interested in going to watch, support and see what it is all about tickets are available to the public.
The Rotherham Metro A & B grade meet was designated as the end of season competition for a number of YCBC swimmers. The target of an end of season meet is for the swimmers to perform at their very best and showcase the skills developed and practiced throughout the season.
Our swimmers stepped up to the challenge and recorded almost 200 PBs over the course of the weekend out of 230 swims.
Swimmers representing all squads aged between 9 and 18 from York City Baths Club descended on Leeds for an exciting day of sprint events at the Jorvik Sprints Meet on Saturday 17th June. The swimmers registered 198 Personal Best times out of 260 swims (76% PBs). In the process of individuals producing some fantastic performances, York was crowned top club of the meet. Ruby Allitt and Sam Whittaker also won Top Girl and Boy in their age groups.
