YOUNG swim kids from the Carnforth Otters stacked up a staggering 26 first places at the North Lancashire Age Group competitions held at Salt Ayre.

A record entry of 39 Otters, aged between nine and 17, also finished in the top six in another 54 events despite a rule change which excluded last year's winners from their best events.

Twelve-year-olds Emily Jackson and Nicholas Tawn topped the table with six wins each, closely followed by 11-year-old Jack Brown with five first places to come second in his group.

Elliot Bousfield and Sophie Walker, both aged nine, came fourth and fifth respectively for their age while 14-year-old Michael Robinson was also fifth and Harriet McGregor, aged 17, achieved third place in the GB points awards.
