Coach on the day, Helen Turner, said 'The meet saw some very good swimming by Metro swimmers. The majority of the boys in the morning started the day off well with some good results, but the large group of girls swimming in the afternoon secured the Top Club position. All those getting a top 6 position in either the B or C grade scored points for the club. It was also encouraging to see so many speeding tickets being awarded, showing the improvement of the swimmers since they entered the gala.'
