💙 BLUEFINS SECURE 5TH PLACE AT SOUTH EAST REGIONALS 2025 💪

What a spectacular weekend for Bluefins! At the Long Course Championships, our swimmers delivered amazing performances — and we secured 5th place among the South East’s elite clubs in the Age Group Team standings. That remarkable finish speaks volumes, especially considering the stiff competition from leagues ahead of us.

Our Stand-Out Moment

5th place in Age Group Team competition Positioned right behind powerhouses like Guildford City, Wycombe District, Tigers (Jersey), and Maidstone, Bluefins truly held their own at the regional level.

This achievement reflects not just the dedication of our swimmers but also the strength and support of our coaching, volunteer teams, and wider Bluefins community.

Highlights to Celebrate

The Bluefins family in full force — athletes, coaches, and supporters all playing their part.

Personal growth: Many athletes posted PBs and gained finals or top-8 finishes.
