The Championships, the first since 2020, took place recently over several weekends and were split between Grantham Meres Leisure Centre and our own Meridian Leisure Centre in Louth.  44 Swimmers qualified to represent Louth and did themselves and the club proud, winning a total of 88 medals (34 gold, 35 silver, 19 bronze). 

On top of that, their Under 14 swimmers won 20 Junior Championship titles with Evie Dickinson winning 50 & 100 Freestyle, 100 & 200 Backstroke, Olivia Anstey winning 100, 200 & 400 Individual Medley, 50 Backstroke, 200 Breaststroke, 50 & 100 Butterfly and 200 Freestyle and Harry Milne triumphing in 50 & 100 Freestyle, 50, 100 & 200 Backstroke, 50 & 100 Butterfly and 100 Individual Medley.  

Louth were very proud to finish an extremely creditable 3rd place in the overall medal table. 

Louth Director of Swimming, James McIntyre said, "Since returning to swimming following the lockdowns, the swimmers determination and commitment has been tremendous and this was evidenced by their performances at this year’s County Championships. These results give the club a very solid base to take forward for the rest of the season and we are looking forward to Regional Championships coming up in May and National Championships in the Summer. Well done to everyone who took part."
