SWINDON Dolphin dominated the Wiltshire Youth Championships as they amassed 15 senior championships, seven junior championships and a staggering 59 age group gold medals.

Leading the way was 31-year-old Jon Audis who collected five championship titles. Audis, best known for his backstroke, comfortably claimed the 50m and 100m trophies, both in new championship best times.

He also showed what a superb all-round swimmer he is with victories in breaststroke and butterfly events, as well as the 100m individual medley.

Charlotte Pitts, Liam Herbert and James Clark were all double championship winners with Matt Rose, Kath Baker and Victoria Jennings claiming one victory each.

Jennings‘ first place in the girls’ 200m butterfly was one of the eye-catching swims, as she clocked up PBs in both the heats and final.

Other championship victories came in the men’s open age group relays, where Audis, Clark, Herbert and Rose claimed new championship best times in both the freestyle and medley events.

Charlotte Pitts was the most successful Dolphin swimmer in the junior championship with first places in the 200m freestyle, 400m freestyle and 200m IM, as well as setting new age group best times in the 400m freestyle and 400m individual medley.

Her younger sister Georgina made her own contribution to the family trophy cabinet with a win in the 200m butterfly.

Other junior championship winners were the fast-improving Adam Coleman and butterfly specialist Emily Dixon. Coleman reaching his first-ever championship final in the 200m IM and deservedly picking up two junior awards to add to his six age group victories. Dixon meanwhile claimed the 50m butterfly junior trophy.

Coleman’s success in individual events was also reflected in his overall victory in the 14-year-old BAGCAT category, while in the girls’ competition Georgina Pitts achieved second and Lauren Matthews finished fourth.

Anna Roger, Anthony Clark, Charlotte Gardo, Joe Kerslake, John Drake, Louise Maynard, Mathew Sambrook, Megan Jones, Sam Berry and Tom Iles also tasted success during the championships.
