Swimmers from four of our training squads (County, Club, National and Regional) competed in the Harrogate Summer Graded short course meet. For most swimmers who raced this was the first short course competition of 2017.

The meet was highly successful for YCBC swimmers with over 75% of the swims as personal best times and winning 50 medals in the process. A number of swimmers also achieved Winter Yorkshire times over the weekend.

The coaches were delighted to see significant improvements in underwater skills on display that have been developed in training, with a number of swimmers using the full 15m underwater off the start.

Summary of results:

129 PBs out of 169 Swims (76% PB)
