Success at White Rose and Dronfield Dolphins

Saturday 28th June was a busy and successful weekend for City of Sheffield swimmers.  We had teams swimming at both Eckington, in the Dronfield Dolphins Challenge Gala, and Harrogate in the White Rose Cup.
A fantastic performance at Eckington ensured that City of Sheffield won the Dronfield Dolphins Challenge shield for the third year running.  With 10 individual wins and 5 relay wins, including the cannon, and plenty of other great swims and PBs the swimmers showed an outstanding team effort.
