Young swimmers from Barnet Copthall Swimming Club were in dominant form in the final of the London section of the National Junior Speedo League.

The nine to 12 year olds were up against clubs from around London including Enfield, Camden and Romford.

Barnet swimmers eased through the two preliminary rounds and were dominant in winning the London final.

Coach Vicky Nicoll said: "They competed hard and worked together as a team - it was an impressive team effort. Our next priority is to win the regional final and then onto the national finals in November."

Barnet’s masters swimmers competed at the GB Long Course Masters event in Plymouth and claimed nine gold medals, four silver and three bronze.

The highlight saw Mark Reynolds set a new British masters record in the 100m freestyle.

Masters swimming coach, Ian Woollard, said: "Mark Reynolds is a wonderful example to all Barnet Copthall swimmers with his tireless commitment to the club and his outstanding results.

"He is a great swimmer who was on great form at the GB Masters, not only did he smash the 100m freestyle record he also narrowly missed the records in both the 50m and 200m freestyle events as well."
