It’s been an exciting week for Rotherham Metro Swimmers with swimmers at the British Championships as well as a local derby at Worksop Dolphins’ Open Gala.

Debbie Cocking and Connor Wood flew the flag for Rotherham at the Olympic Aquatics Centre in London. Qualifying for the British Championships is a great achievement for any swimmer but for a relatively small club like Rotherham Metro it’s a proud moment. Debbie Cocking put in a good swims in the 100 Backstroke, 50 Freestyle, 100 Fly & 200 Individual Medley. Connor Wood did Rotherham proud with a sterling performance in the 50 Free.
