Michael took part in a swimming gala with upwards of eight clubs competing. He swam in four events including the 200m individual medley, 100m backstroke, 100m breaststroke and the 50m butterfly for which he won a silver medal. This was all the more remarkable as it was the first time Michael had swam the butterfly competitively! He was one of the younger competitors and did really well across all of the events. Congratulations Michael.
