Northwest Micro League is a three Division league aimed at giving young swimmers aged 9-12 their first taste of competitive swimming action in a friendly team-based setting. Clitheroe Dolphins are currently in Division C and are aiming to return to the B division when racing restarts in 2022.

- Aged 9 and under (at the date of the National final in Nov) - all raced over 25m
