Sheffield swim team, combined aged 240, breaks world record

Over the course of the weekend, the City of Sheffield swim squad – which includes 47 swimmers aged 18 to 75 – broke five British records.

The overall competition featured more than 400 competitors from clubs across the UK.

Two of the members of Sheffield’s world record-breaking team, Dawn Kissack, 61, and Lindsey Gaywood, 63, had been swimming together at the club since they were 13.

“We swam for Sheffield at the old Park Baths and then Dawn went off to Scotland,” Ms Gaywood said.

Ms Kissack, who travelled down from Scotland for the competition, said it was “worth the trip” to swim with the team.

Andrew Moore, 58, the team’s newest member, had been competing for a year.
