In the first round Diss Otters hosted the

gala at Thetford Swimming Pool

competing against King's Lynn A and B

team, Great Yarmouth, Norwich Swan and Long Stratton.

Diss had several swimmers who have never competed outside of the club so there were some nervous swimmers and parents sitting on the sidelines.

Diss swam well in the first round with several wins and top-three placings. Overall, Diss were placed fifth.

Head coach Penny Storie said she was "pleased with the results overall and look forward to taking out the junior team next year, hopefully to show an improvement in position within the league".
