Masters European Championships Rome 28th August - 4th September 2022

John Reed

Competition was in the same fantastic Roma Naturo pool, and also in the Italian team national pool Pietralata. There were some great swims with 6 medals won and six club records broken. It was also the end of Matt Conrad-Jones’s time at WDSC, a sad moment, but we wish him well in his new home in Kent.

Full Team: Philippa Williams, Jennifer Holland, Matt Conrad-Jones, Greg Whyte, Greg du Tertre, Ben Allsopp, Charlie Wilson, Keith Goggin, Jonny Patten and Gareth Fowler
