All three Caradon Swimmers had fantastic races battling the conditions, Paul won his Masters age group with GOLD, Aegean finishing second SILVER and Jackson third BRONZE in their 16 year age groups. All three swimmers will now be able to represent Caradon Swimming Club at the National Championships later this month with this being the second year in a row Aegean has qualified.
