Ponds Forge, Sheffield was the venue for the first cham­pi­onship event of the sea­son. With some of the best swim­mers in the coun­ty try­ing to post some fast ear­ly sea­son times, the com­pe­ti­tion at the York­shire Swim­ming Asso­ci­a­tion Win­ter Cham­pi­onships was tough.

The City of Leeds were rep­re­sent­ed by swim­mers from the Devel­op­ment, Com­pe­ti­tion, Region­al Youth and Senior and Nation­al Age and Youth squads. There were some great per­for­mances over the week­end with many best times espe­cial­ly form the clubs younger swimmers.
