Will Gibney achieved a bronze medal in the 15 and over boys 100m breaststroke to add to a sixth place medal in the 200m IM.

Another brilliant swim saw him to fourth place in the 50m breaststroke when competing against a 25-year old Commonwealth swimmer!

Elin Caine swam well in the ten-year-old girls' 50m breaststroke to gain a new personal best time and a sixth place medal.
