A swimming club scooped 39 medals at a county championship.
Swimmers from Ledbury and Malvern Swimming Club (LAMSC) took home 11 golds, 10 silvers, and 18 bronzes at the 2025 Worcestershire Swim England County Championships.
A team of 28 swimmers qualified for the competition, which took place over two weekends at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre in January and February.
In the 99th year of the competition, the group of 19 girls and nine boys competed against 12 other clubs from across Worcestershire.
Steve Vizard, county president, said prior to the event: "These championships have evolved over the last 99 years to reach the format and standard you are familiar with today – may I take this opportunity to congratulate all swimmers for getting to these championships and wish them all the best of luck."
A highlight for the club was brother and sister duo, Lily and Fin Ferguson, who achieved second and fifth place in their respective top girl and boy categories.
LAMSC's success doesn't end with the end of the county championships, as a number of their swimmers also qualified for the regional competition.
The regional qualifiers from the county meet are: Sadie Beaumont, Freya Smith, Eve McKenna, Oscar Townsend, Fin Ferguson, Barney West, Daniel Vasilev, Scarlett Ainge, Kim Mackay, Emily Goggins, Lily Ferguson, and Sophie Fitzgerald-Finch.
Head coach, Rob Lancaster, praised the swimmers’ efforts and dedication.
He said: "Competing at county level requires a significant commitment to training and a determined attitude.
"Although the swimmers are competing as a team, they are all striving for their own personal goals too.
"The club supports all levels of swimmer and aims to help them each progress to reach their individual best."
LAMSC is a Swim England registered club, training at Malvern Active and Halo Leisure Centre in Ledbury.
