It was a successful weekend for Camden Swiss Cottage Swimming club as a team of 42 swimmers travelled north to compete in the City of Coventry Long Course Open Meet (50 meter pool) against 18 other teams in a highly competitive meet.
The Camden team didn’t disappoint and picked up a total of 76 medals, 21 of which were gold. This fantastic medal haul saw the team pick up the top club award.

Mark Allen, coach commenting on the weekends results said “This was a fantastic team effort, the President of the Coventry Swimming Club commented on the spirit among the athletes. The meet is good preparation for the London Regions in June. The most pleasing aspect for me was that for many of our younger development swimmers this was their first experience of a long course event and they acquitted themselves brilliantly.”
