After the long three session Meet a delighted coach Karen Kelly said "The Lanark swimmers were a credit to their Schools. In the afternoon session we hit a purple patch winning gold, silver and bronze in the breaststroke events. Then in the evening there was a fine silver medal for Cameron in the 100m freestyle. Four of the swimmers were at the bottom end of their age groups and did well to qualify for this Meet. Next weekend we are back in a short course for the West District Championships at Cumbernauld."
