Of the 43 races, 14 were won by Erith, while there were an another 14 who took good second places.

Convincing individual wins came courtesy of Joe Thorogood and Freda Ross, both with two, Tiffany Brown, Philip Brown, Grant Cooper and Mark Russell.

Once again Erith dominated in the relays, with six of the 11 mixed relay events providing Erith with victories.

These included the butterfly and freestyle squadrons, the 11 and under freestyle, the open medley and freestyle and the 15 and under medley.
