Our annual Presentation Night was everything we hoped it would be – and more. The room was full, the atmosphere was buzzing, and it was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the achievements, commitment and progress of swimmers from right across Harwich, Dovercourt and Parkeston Swimming Club.
From first-time award winners to long-standing club members, the evening was a brilliant reminder of what makes our club special. Presentation Night is about far more than medals and trophies; it is about recognising effort, resilience, improvement and teamwork – values our swimmers demonstrate week in, week out in training and competition.
