In the 200m IM, Charlotte Ashwin, 12, set a new PB by taking four seconds off her previous time, while Zoe Griffiths, 14, was within 0.5 seconds of her best.

The 100m freestyle saw Ashwin PB again, as did Griffiths, although Eleanor Wase and Sian Jones just failed to do so, before Ashwin claimed bronze in the 800m freestyle.

Scott Neave came third in the heats of the 200m backstroke with a PB, then finished second in the final with another.

Lauren Wilson finished third in the 200m butterfly heats and improved on her PB to come second in the final.

She also reached the final of the 100m butterfly after coming fourth in the heats and then ended fifth in the final, within a whisker of her PB.
