What a fantastic night at KJL in Lewisham!

We couldn't be prouder of our swimmers, who delivered some outstanding performances throughout the evening and secured an incredible 2nd place overall 🥈 👏

A huge thank you also goes to all our parents, families and supporters. It was a warm evening, but hearing so many enthusiastic Black Lion cheers from the crowd helped drive our swimmers on every step of the way 🦁
