Deepings Swimming Club and City of Peterborough join forces for competition.
Two swimming clubs joined forces to hold a competition which produced some great racing and created a fantastic atmosphere.
City of Peterborough hosted their Summer Meet at the Manor Leisure Centre in Whittlesey and allowed Deepings to run their Club Championships within the races.
This meant that for Deepings swimmers there was double the amount of medals up for grabs.
It was a huge success with the opportunity to become club champion and win medals for first to third in each group in each event.
Aside from the Club Championships, Deepings swimmers were also highly successful in the COPS event as well and produced a fantastic 80 individual personal bests and 24 county qualifying times (CQTs) between them.
A number of swimmers were able to achieve multiple CQTs during the meet and the star performer was Olivia King (12yrs girls) with four.
Noah Skinner (13yrs boys), Corey Farley (15yrs girls), Lottie Jenkinson (14yrs girls) and Aoife Hickey (10yrs girls) all achieved three.
Oliver Clarke (11yrs boys), James Cash (14yrs boys), Lucy Jenkinson (12yrs girls) achieved two and Isabella Reynolds (14yrs girls) and Evie Davies (11yrs girls) both managed one.
In the COPS Summer Meet, despite tough competition from large home squad, City of Ely, March Marlins and a number of swimmers from far and wide including Manchester and Burnley, Deepings swimmers once again excelled.
Oliver Clarke produced a series of stunning performances in the 11yrs boys in a variety of events over the weekend to come away with eight medals (five bronze, two silver and a gold in the 100m breastroke).
Aoife Hickey performed brilliantly in the 9yrs girls to win four medals (three bronze, one silver), Corey Farley in the 14-15yrs girls won two medals (both silver), along with Noah Skinner in the 12-13yrs boys who also won two (silver and bronze).
There were also medals for Eloise Walker 16yrs girls 100IM (bronze), Lottie Jenkinson 14-15 girls 100m free (bronze) and Lottie Flatters 10-11 girls 50m fly (bronze).
