All six City of Bradford Swimming Club members who were competing at the City of Sheffield Premier Long-Course Meet at Ponds Forge posted personal bests.

With qualifying times for future events the carrot, rather than medals, Abigail Shuttleworth led the way for Bradford.

Swimming in the 15 years and over events, she posted 2min 30.47sec in the 200 metres butterfly and 31.05sec in the 50m freestyle.

Sisters Jovanna (50m breaststroke and freestyle) and Jelena Lugonja (50m backstroke, freestyle and breaststroke) looked real prospects, while 15-year-old Beth Meer, in the open events, had bests in the 50m butterfly and backstroke.

Bringing up the rear were ten-year-old Eve Midgley in the 50m butterfly and backstroke and 11-year-old Louie Dove with his 35.16sec in the 11 years 50m freestyle.
