Dereham Otters Impress at Competitive Easter Meet
Meet: City of Norwich Swimming Club Easter Meet
Date: 3rd – 5th April 2026
Venue: Sportspark, UEA
Following a busy and highly competitive Easter Meet weekend, Dereham Otters were strongly represented across multiple events, with performances reflecting the hard work being put in during training.
Across the board, swimmers rose to the challenge, delivering personal bests and gaining valuable race experience at an important stage of the season.
A standout performance came from Anastasja Wall, who qualified for three finals over the course of the meet. This is a fantastic achievement at this level of competition and demonstrates both her consistency and ability to perform under pressure. Reaching multiple finals in a single weekend is no small feat, and Anastasja should be extremely proud of her efforts.
Equally encouraging was Megan Summer’s performance, as she narrowly missed out on Summer Regional qualifying times. While it is always tough to be just outside the required standards, her swims show she is right on the cusp. With continued focus and commitment, those times are well within reach.
Overall, the Easter Meet proved to be a positive experience for the club, providing motivation and clear markers of progress as Dereham Otters move into the next phase of the season.
