Five Runnymede swimmers reached event finals in this year's Southern Counties Championships at Crystal Palace.

The famous five were 10-year-old boys George Smith, William Muggleton and Alex Delicata, along with 11-year-old girl Georgie Hunt and 12-year-old Charlotte Davis.

Smith and Muggleton starred in butterfly and breaststroke events, both reaching the finals over 100m and 200m.

Smith took two fourth-placed butterfly finishes, while Muggleton had a pair of seventh places in the breaststroke.

Hunt performed brilliantly in several events, and had her best result with a sixth placed in the 200m breast.

Davis, a butterfly specialist, peaked with 200m final spot where she came seventh.
