TRIATHLETE Carrie Power made a splash at the London Aquatics Centre while representing Great Britain in the European Masters Swimming Championships.
The Stonehenge Triathlon and Road Club (STAR) member entered the 400m freestyle.
After starting in the outside lane, Power made good timing to finish fifth out of ten in six minutes and four seconds.
She said: "It's not bad for someone who taught themselves to swim 11 years ago!"
"Although I was disappointed with my time I really enjoyed the experience."
