Retford Open - Sunday 23rd October
Another great day of performances from Sutton's swimmers. Along with 19 Personal Best times being set and a bunch of qualifying times, there were many strong swims throughout the team. The support given to all of our swimmers was amazing and, if the parents might also take some credit, the Sutton posse were almost certainly the most vocal on the balcony. Well done to all.
