IT was a gold-filled weekend for Phil Muspratt.

The Salisbury swimmer posted five gold medals at the Scottish National Masters Short Course Championships in Aberdeen.

They arrived in the 200m, 100m and 50m freestyle as well as the 100m and 50m backstroke.

Muspratt, who is preparing for next month's European Championships, said: "I'm encouraged with my times from the weekend, my 100m freestyle was by far my best swim."

"It showed that I'm approaching the sort of speeds I was swimming before I got back in the pool last year after six months out. There's much to improve on so my times will ultimately continue to drop."
