DOLPHINS SHINE @ LANCS COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS
14 Mar 2022
After last year’s County championships were cancelled due to covid, Clitheroe Dolphins were excited to be sending a strong squad of qualifiers to the 2022 edition of the Lancashire Championships.
The competition took place at Liverpool’s Wavertree Pool, seeing the best swimmers in Lancashire do battle over 3 weekends of intense racing.
Mike led a strong squad, with 10 Dolphins reaching the required minimum qualifying times for the event, and they all did us proud by doubling the team standing points tally the club posted in the 2020 edition of the event.
Individually the swimmers did well with three swimmers medaling and several swimmers reaching the finals of their events.

Ribblesdale Pool in Clitheroe has become the latest organisation in the UK to achieve Swim England's Water Wellbeing standard.
The Water Wellbeing mark is aimed at transforming community swimming pools into places for health, wellbeing and rehabilitation. It recognises the organisation’s efforts in making the pools more accessible and inclusive for people with long-term health conditions.
Councillor Stuart Hirst, chairman of the council’s community services committee, said:
“It’s wonderful to see Ribblesdale Pool achieve this national award. It’s a testimony to the hard work of staff and the enthusiastic support of the pool’s users.

. - 09 Nov 2025Masterly Swimming
On the back of Andy’s record breaking feat at British Nationals a few weeks ago it was another great day for Dolphins masters yesterday.
Ruth Parker made the trip to Sheffield to compete at the South Yorks masters open meet, coming home with Silver in the 100IM & 50 Breast, and bronze in the 50 Fly, posting three new PBs in the process.
Not only that but subject to the qualifying times being released we believe the time of 40.6 Ruth posted in the 50 Breast should be enough to qualify for the 2026 National Champs.
Well Done Ruth
The Masters have been back in action today as Ruth will be joined by Caitlin Wilson, Martha Smith and Sam Griffiths who have all been selected to represent Lancashire at the inter counties championships at Manchester.
Looking forward to todays stories
