Head Coach, Maisie Wright, said “It was an incredible weekend for the club, after launching just last October, it has been an outstanding first season for us, bringing home 150 gold medals in 2022. Finishing the season as National Champions in our division was more than I could have ever asked for. I’m still a little in shock to be honest! Overwhelmingly proud of each and every swimmer at Aquaoaks.”
