They were: Dexter Scott (age 13), Giulio D’Andrea (13), Theo Perrin (14), Harry Abbott (14), Rebecca Tomkins (14), Oliver Frost (15), Rowan Hooper (15) and Charlotte Harries (18).

The championships took place at Millfield School in Street and Hengrove in Bristol for swimmers aged 11-14, and at the Plymouth Life Centre for the over-15s, over three weekends.

Rebecca Tomkins made the finals in the 50m and 100m breaststroke events and took the silver medal home in the 50m event.
