Rosie Whitten, a lifelong Swim Belfast member, is currently training and studying at Cleveland State University, and recently competed at this season\'s Horizon League Conference Championships. Rosie had a packed programme across the weekend: 50m Freestyle 100m Freestyle 200m Freestyle 200, 400 & 800 Freestyle Relays She picked up a strong stack of points for the team and delivered when it mattered. Rosie made B Finals in the 50 and 100 Free, and progressed to an A Final in the 200 Free — improving from morning heats into evening finals with lifetime bests along the way. Coach Mark and Coach Trent at CSU are clearly doing a fantastic job. It\'s great to see Rosie back to form and building momentum. We\'re proud of you, Rosie and looking forward to seeing you home soon.

Eight swimmers competed at the McCullagh International Meet in Dublin with 4 medals, 15 finals, and 7 personal bests. Lottie medalled in all backstroke events while Zach reached both breaststroke finals with PBs.
