TWO Watford Swimming Club members competed in an International Swimming competition at the weekend as guests of the University Swimming Club of Mainz, Watford's twin town.
With swimmers from all over Europe competing, the standard was particularly high. The teams from Zagreb and Basel were particularly strong, with several Croatian and Swiss national age group records broken over the two-day meet.
But the two Watford swimmers, Ben Dollard and Paul Gooding, did themselves and the club proud, eventually winning one gold, two silvers and three bronze medals between them.
For the full story of the swimmers' successes, make sure you pick up a copy of this week's The Watford Observer.
