Wisbech Swimming Club has made history by winning two Fenland League titles for the second year running.

The club retained both the Junior and Senior Fenland League titles, a feat chair Lisa Bishop called a proud moment for everyone involved.

Ms Bishop said: "I am so proud of all the swimmers and, on behalf of everyone at the club, I would like to congratulate them all on two fantastic wins which have seen them make history for the club.

"All the swimmers should be rightly proud of their achievements, showing that their hard work in training really does pay off.

"I would also like to thank all of the coaches and volunteers who make results like this possible."

Despite not winning the final gala, Wisbech’s unbeaten performance throughout the season secured them the overall Junior League title.

Wisbech’s B team finished fourth in the B Final and eighth overall.

A week later, Wisbech faced City of Ely, March Marlins, St Neots Swans and Huntingdon Piranhas in the Senior Fenland League Final in Newmarket.
