The annual gala strives to encourage children to learn how to race in a friendly, less competitive environment.
Kate Jones of the club said each child swam well and most walked away with a top-eight ribbon or a podium place medal in every event.
The team of only 12 swimmers finished fourth overall.
“Some of the senior swimmers offered their help in supporting our little ones and helped with timekeeping,” said Jones.
She congratulated all of the swimmers for their achievements.
