Toby R won gold medals in all three backstroke events and Lorcan W achieved medals in all three breaststroke events (2 golds and 1 bronze). 

Several Cirencester swimmers made Championship Finals - making them one of the top ten fastest (of all ages) in the County: Izzy S finished top in her age group in the heats in all three breaststroke events and made it into the Championship Finals. Alongside her was her teammate,  Immie L who also made two of the breaststroke Championship Finals (finishing second in her age group in all three breaststroke events). Ishi H finished in the top three in her age group for all three Butterfly events and swam in the Championship Final for the 200m Butterfly.
