Wisbech Swimming Club is celebrating victory in a hotly contested championship that saw its A Team crowned league title winners.
The club's A Team has won the 2025 Junior Fenland League title following an almost flawless performance throughout the season.
The team entered the 'A' finals at St Ives on Saturday unbeaten, but they finished second on the night.
However, it was enough for them to clinch overall victory, pipping the evening's winning side, West Norfolk, to the league title by just one point.

The Wisbech team's season performance saw them see off 11 other teams from across Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk.
The St Ives meeting saw a thrilling evening of racing—and some of the loudest support of the season.
West Norfolk splashed to the top of the leader board on the night with 123 points.
Wisbech followed in second (113), with St Ives and Ely posting 100 and 98 respectively.
The final league standings after the final were:
1st - Wisbech A - 29 points
2nd - West Norfolk – 28 points
3rd - St Ives – 26 points
4th - City of Ely - 26 points
Meanwhile, the Wisbech B team hosted the ‘B’ final against strong challengers from March Blue and St Neots.
Despite some spirited performances, they finished third with 103 points, behind March Blue (124) and St Neots (110).
This season marks the first time in recent years that Wisbech Swimming Club has fielded two teams.
Club chair Lisa Bishop said: “It is a testament to the strength of the squad, and the hard work and dedication of our coaching team and volunteers that we were able to enter two teams this season.
"It has provided invaluable experience to all the swimmers involved, especially those just beginning their competitive journeys. Congratulations to every swimmer on a fantastic Junior Fenland League season.”
