He said: “I am extremely proud of my achievements at county championships. I love racing and am happy I got personal bests in every event.

“I am very grateful for all the help and support from my coaches and teammates.

“It has been great competing and watching others do well, especially my sister who had success at her first counties.”

Head coach Craig Oliver said: “Following on from the success of the distance events and the excitement of Jacob Pillinger taking junior champ in the 400m freestyle, we kept the momentum over the main two weekends.

“We had a 12.5 per cent increase in qualifying swimmers from 2020 and 70 swims in finals (top eight) over the championships.

“The team finished with nearly double the championship points scored in 2020 with a fantastic percentage coming from our juniors.

“It must be noted that Josh Scrivener banked the most medals for the team with a total of 10, with some sensational swims.”

Blue Fins finished sixth out of 18 clubs.
