“And this year’s county championships lived up to expectations.

“Across all events and age groups we had some sensational swimming and I extend my congratulations to all participants.

"I am especially proud of the Teamipswich athletes, from the newcomers to seasoned swimmers – each individual delivered their best to achieve personal best times, medal placings, and regional qualifications.

"Really well deserved and a reflection of their dedication to the training they do.”
