  As usual Holywell’s themed event did not disappoint! Our Halloween meet was a …SPOOKY SUCCESS… it was lovely to see many of the coaches and swimmers join in the fun by dressing up in their Halloween costumes. The venue was superbly dressed out in Halloween props, big shout out to Emma Park and all who helped the pool deck looked amazing.
  
  Some fantastic support from all the swimmers and their supporters on the balcony made for an exciting fun filled event. Amazing swims from many many swimmers, loud cheering from the crowds and the teams made for a fabulous meet.
