The competition, for swimmers between 10 and 13, was held over two weekends at the Barnet Copthall pool – and 12-year-old McEver showed her all-round versatility to win the 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke as well as the 200m butterfly, plus the 100m and 400m Individual Medley.

Lyelle Kahaner, also 13, swam strongly to claim double gold in the 50m and 100m breaststroke, while Brandon Biss, 12, claimed gold in the 200m IM alongside silvers in the 1500m freestyle and 100m backstroke.

Leo He, 12, took gold in the gruelling 200m butterfly and also touched for bronze in the 50m butterfly, while Gabriele Giovannoni, 13, showed he could go the distance with a first-place finish in the 1500m freestyle, also claiming silver in the 400m event.
