The team smashed four records on the day, with Emma breaking two on her own in winning both the under-12s 50m butterfly and freestyle.
Laura Myers was also on top form as she beat the mark for the under-13s 50 metres breaststroke and also claimed gold medals in the butterfly and freestyle. She only missed out on the clean sweep by two hundredths of a second when finishing second in the backstroke.
The final record went to young Jessie Unwin, who stormed to victory in the under-11s 50m butterfly.
