WEST Dorset Warriors came home with a combined total of 37 personal best times from two fiercely competitive meetings at Millfield and Bournemouth.

The Three Towers Level Three Meet in Somerset saw nine-year-old Ollie Fairman win six gold medals (50m/200m backstroke, 50m/200m breaststroke, 50m/200m freestyle) with a further one coming from 13-year-old Charlie Hitchcock (100m butterfly).

The latter also claimed two bronze medals (50m breaststroke, 50m butterfly) while Aaron Fryer bagged one (200m freestyle) and two silver (50m butterfly, 50m freestyle).

Fellow 15-year-old, Jordan Trewartha, finished third behind Fryer in the 50m freestyle to also make the podium and there was also success for 10-year-old George Kelman-Johns, who picked up double bronze (200IM, 200m breaststroke).

Flora Johnson, aged 12, was the shining light for the girls with eight medals, including three gold (50m/100m/200m breaststroke), one silver (400m freestyle) and four bronze (200IM, 400IM, 100m/200m breaststroke).

In the same age group, Millie Kelman-Johns finished third in two races (100m/200m breaststroke) while Lauren Oddy picked up a gold (50m freestyle) and a sliver (100m freestyle).

That success by the team was followed by similar glory at the Level Two Open Meet in Bournemouth.

This time Hitchcock led the way with four medals including one gold (50m butterfly), a silver (200m breaststroke) and two bronze (50m/100m breaststroke).

Fairman also claimed a gold medal (200m backstroke) and a bronze while Fryer collected a brace of silver medals (100m butterfly, 100m freestyle).

There was also a podium place for 10-year-old Alex Felton who took home bronze (50m backstroke).

Johnson, meanwhile, faced the challenge of moving up an age group where she recorded seven personal bests as well as claiming a silver medal (50m breaststroke).
