The Isle of Wight Swim Team attended the James Moreno Open Meet Gala at the Southampton Quays Complex on Sunday 6th October. The Isle of Wight Squad comprised of 8 swimmers at this level 2 competition, which provided a very high calibre of competition and the aim for the IW swim team was to set a good quality base in this early season gala.

The younger swimmers in the squad were looking to produce qualifying Hampshire County Championship times, which are due to be released very shortly. There were personal bests for James Stirling in the 50m Freestyle and 100m Freestyle, Amber Backhouse in the 200m Individual Medley and 50m breaststroke, Megan King in the 200m Individual Medley and 50m Freestyle, Lelayna Blacklock in the 200m Individual Medley and Abigail Lacey in the 200m Individual Medley.
