In the first two events, Ellen Moore and Alex Foggett gave Witney the ideal start with wins in the girls and boys 11 & under individual medley.

From then on, Witney were never headed with excellent efforts throughout the age groups.

Daniel Frost was in impressive form, winning the boys' 11 & under backstroke and taking runners up slot in the breaststroke to land the club's swimmer-of-the-match award.
