Vine claimed a new Berks and South Bucks junior county record in the 50m race.

The other gold medallist was 12-year-old Rebecca O'Brien in the 11/12-years 400m freestyle where she dipped under five minutes for the first time. She also collected bronze in the 800m and 200m freestyle during a very busy weekend.
