CENTRAL Park swimming pool was the venue for members of Tavistock Swimming Club competing in Plymouth Leander's Late Easter Last Chance Open Meet last weekend.

It was an enjoyable meet with some impressive swimming and stiff competition with strong squads from as far afield as Jersey.

Christopher Ralph took seven seconds off his personal best time to take 5th place in the boys' 13yrs 200m breast in a club record time and 9th in the 50m breast in a personal best time.
