Twenty four swimmers from Berks & South Bucks together with County President Sue Green, Team Manager Liz Waddy and coaches Matt Heathcock and Nigel Willis travelled to Sheffield for the National Inter County Team Championships.

The Ponds Forge pool is split into two 25 metre pools for the event with 38 county teams from across Great Britain competing. Teams from Division competed in one pool with teams from Division 2 in the other. The starts are staggered resulting in two races going on at the same time. The atmosphere during the competition was great and the swimmers from all the county teams were getting into the spirit by dressing up and painting themselves in the team colours.

There were some excellent swims and a large number of personal best times were recorded. Oliver Leonard achieved 1^st place in the boys 16/17 100 Freestyle and 2^nd in the 100 fly and Lucy Campbell took 3^rd in the 14/15 100 Freestyle. Coupled with some excellent relay results and many top ten finishes the team finished 12^th overall in Division 1 with only 25 points separating Cheshire in 7^th Place and Berks & South Bucks in 12^th Place. The entire team performed well and were a credit to the county.

Well done all swimmers
