Southend Swimming Club's talented 10-year-olds Jenni Lawton and Susannah Carroll both enjoyed success at their first Essex County Championships, held at Fulwell Cross.
Jenni and Susannah were both finalists in the 100 metres freestyle - Jenni taking silver in a time of 1 min. 11.70 secs and Susannah the bronze in 1 min. 14. 79 secs.
Jenni also took silver in both the 100m butterfly in 1 min. 26. 84 secs and the 200m individual medley.
Fourth spot in the 400m freestyle and fifth in the 100m backstroke completed an impressive performance.
Susannah was unlucky to miss out on the final of the 100m backstroke after finishing seventh in the heats.
Both girls are coached by Southend's chief coach Eddie Clarke.
