The club entered a record 57 swimmers, who qualified for 391 races (up from 310 last year) over three weekends at K2 Crawley.

Seagull achieved a huge number of personal best times, but special mention must go to the irrepressible Bella Gardner, who was awarded the top 13-year-old girl trophy for the highest number of FINA points for swims throughout the entire competition.
