A HUGE impact was made at the Wiltshire County Age Group Swimming Championships by a string of Salisbury Stingrays.

Nineteen swimmers, aged between 10 and 13 years old, took part in the competition in Swindon, having gained qualifying times at events last year.

They splashed their way to 25 medals, including five golds, nine silvers and 11 bronzes.

Aidan McMullan, who won five medals, was named top swimmer at the event.

Other top medallists were Thomas Doran, Amelia Keen, Sophie Channell, Samson Allen, Ruby-Lee Allen, Josh Withers-Jones, Xen Medland and Ellie Chalk.

Along with the medals, club members also achieved 27 qualifying times for the South West Regional Championships to be held later this year.

Head coach Mark Corben said: "This was a huge achievement by this young group of swimmers and is a reflection on the dedication and hard work they put in during the training sessions.

"I am immensely proud of everyone who represented their club at the championships."
