A number of younger swimmers shone. Millie Quin, 12, swam some good personal bests despite the conditions, the pick being a 2:32.72 200m freestyle. Fellow 12-year-old Tom Jury swam an impressive 200m butterfly in 2:56.60 in a Geerton 1-2 behind accomplished fly swimmer Louis Fitzjohn, 12, who completed the butterfly trifecta winning the 50m and 100m as well.
Aidan Heath, 13, won the 100m butterfly and backstroke events before coming from behind in the final relay to lead the Greerton team home by a touch. Olivia Cummings, 14, was as energetic as ever, never missing the freestyle podium from 50m to 800m and causing a few upsets in the skins as well. Ella Browne, 16, was another whose consistency was rewarded by not finishing outside the top three over eight events.
Other top swims came from Katie Hills, 11, with a huge 29-second personal best in the 200m medley, Jessica Martin, 14, winning the 200m butterfly, Zac Quin topping the boys' 10 100m breaststroke, and Mia Pugh, 15, who finished with a solid 19:14.24 in the 1500m freestyle.
Daniel Harrington, 12, impressed with five personal best swims in the big pool across a number of strokes indicating good medley potential.
First timers in Greerton colours Gabriel Roberts, 10, and Paris McConnell, 11, showed plenty of promise while Lilli Guy, 11, and Isaac Williams, 11, both made four from four in personal bests.
