At the Rotherham Metro Meet, Bobcats were again at Ponds Forge, with 26 swimmers ranging from 9-15 years old. Overall the club came away with a fantastic haul of medals – 25 golds, 11 silvers and 14 bronze.

On top of this great result, with a 93% personal best rate and numerous Lancashire County and North West Regional qualification standard times, William Havers-Strong achieved the Top Boy Award.

The club held an end of season barbeque to raise funds, and Century fund raising bike ride, and would like to thank sponsors, Burnley Leisure, Roaming Roosters and Warburtons, and parents and volunteers.
