Borough of Barnsley swimmers travelled east to Scarborough this weekend for Scarborough Swimming Club’s Summer Seaside Splash. With coach Greg Lugton at the helm along with a number of team managers the 46 swimmers won a total of 32 gold medals, 35 silver medals and 39 bronze with a total number of 15 “too fast” medals.

Club Spokesman Adrian Wightman said “The swimmers were very excited to be back at Scarborough for this great event, the last time being 2019. The number of lifetime bests and medals is testament to the grit and determination that our swimmers  both train and compete with.”


The event, run over 3 days, had a party atmosphere with swimmers (and parents) taking part in dancing and jovial behaviour during the event. The list of medal winners is below. 
 
The following swimmers missed out on medals but managed lifetime bests Evie Blessed, Callum Cadman, Davieleigh Farmery, Alice O’Keefe, Lily O’Brien , Jeannie Roberts, Ruby Severn and Naomi Wakeling.
