Louth Dolphins Swimming Club held their 35th Annual Club Championships presentations in a much-reduced format, at their home in the Meridian Leisure Centre.

It was not possible to run the championship in 2020 because of Covid restrictions but in a very busy calendar the 2021 events were run over October and November.

Again because of the Covid restriction the usual large celebration at the Town Hall had to be cancelled and it was decided to hold a much-reduced event for safety reasons.
