Both Janaye and Thomas swam personal best times in 9 out of their 10 races, with Janaye breaking 3 Counties Records.

Our other medalists were Zahn Cooney (11) who swum a brilliant race and won Gold in the 100m Butterfly, and Darnika Howe (10) who swam an amazing 50m Breaststroke to collect a silver medal.  Our freestyle relay team of Janaye Burns, Thomas Murray, Amelia de Lautour and Zeal Jones also won a Silver Medal.
