Overview

Small team, big impact

The competition took place in Karmøy and gathered 121 swimmers from 8 clubs. SVK was the second smallest club in terms of participation, but the results quickly showed that size was not the whole story.

Our swimmers made the most of their races and delivered a weekend full of podium finishes, confidence and momentum for the rest of the season.

What stood out

A weekend that set the tone early

It was an early reminder that the club could travel with a smaller group and still perform at a very high level.
