A Dolphin squad of 25 were at the meet, with the vast majority of swimmers producing personal best swims and picking up medals. Adam Coleman continued his improvement in form, coming close to the regional mark in the 200m backstroke, 200m freestyle and 200m individual medley. There were similar fine performances from Ben Sarachi, Noah Kirby, Rebecca Matthews, Michelle Bilko and Maddie Easter all of whom look set to make the grade over the next few months.
