The big attraction was the chance to win membership of Westgate Leisure or free swimming sessions - and the centre gave competitors a boost by putting up four prizes instead of the two they had initally promised. The winner in the adult category was John Alford, while the 12-15 age-group winner was Chloe Fenton. Th duo each win six months Premier+ membership at Westgate Leisure. Aiden Collings took the honours in the eight-11 age group, while Tilly Jarvis followed suit in the seven-and-unders. These two have both won four free swimming sessions at Westgate. If you are one of those four winners, contact Stuart Mills at Westgate Leisure on 01243 521087. For a full list of rowers and their distances, see the Observer (Sept 15 edition).
