Referee of the Meet, Bob Cooper, said:
'Having been involved in this Event for over 20 years, it is a pleasure to see swimmers who were taking part in those early years at Sandown Heights still swimming here.
"This is the joy of Masters Swimming, you are catered for through the years.
"To see 81 year-old Helga Reinicke, who comes over from Germany, once again makes it all worthwhile.
"I had many thanks from the swimmers for my colleagues in the Marlins SC who organises and then supports the running of the event, for the officials, and I thank the Medina pool management and staff for their backing."
