She will now go on to compete in the Welsh Nationals in Swansea in April.

A Myddelton College spokesperson said: “Some fabulous swims and PBs as you will see from her official rankings and considering her last PBs were only achieved less than three weeks ago.

“Amelia should be proud of her performance.”
