DURRINGTON Otters chalked up a hatful of medals at the ASA level 3 meeting.

The club's 12 swimmers picked up 27 medals from the 30 events, including eight golds, nine silvers and 10 bronzes, at Frome Swimming Club's long course open meet.

From Helston to Aberystwyth, teams from across the country were in full force at Millfield School's Olympic size pool.

Stand-out Otters' were Jack Rinaldi, who took four golds in the Year 9 category, Imogen Primmer grabbed the 11 year old girls 400 freestyle win and Dylan Gosden dominated the 14 year old boys' breaststroke races, sealing three gold medals.

Many of the village club's swimmers surpassed personal bests and gained times to qualify for next year’s county championships.
