After a long absence from the National Are­na Swimming League, Dinnaton Swimming Club in Ivybridge made their comeback on Saturday in considerable style.

Competing in West­on-super-Mare with eight teams from across the south west, they finished in a comfortable second position, only coming up short against the mighty resources of Mount Kelly.

Dinnaton’s head coach Matt Henry, himself a former Mount Kelly swimmer, led by example, competing alongside his team in the water.
