It means Basildon have now added the B Final crown to the National Arena Junior Swimming League title they won in September 2021.
Even more sucess was achieved by BPSC in the Club Relay Challenge where they also came first, over 3 seconds ahead of Camden Swiss Cottage who followed in to secure 2nd place.
The lead changed hands several times during the 42 events held at the Cardiff International Pool but the Essex-based club came through at the end with solid performances across all the age groups.
Doug Campbell, Basildon head coach, said he was delighted with his team’s results – especially as this is the clubs first ever appearance in the National Finals.
