The events took\u00a0place 25th &#8211; 26th February. Retford Lifesavers took our largest ever team, with over 20 individual competitors. It was also our most successful Speed Championships ever, bringing back 13 national medals including 5 gold, as well as a whole heap of PB swims. We even broke a national record for the 10m Line Throw and had a club member selected to join the RLSS UK&#8217;s Performance Squad. These achievements placed Retford Lifesavers 9th overall, which is a fantastic achievement.
