Runnymede Swimming Club made a great start in the first round of the Essex County Championships.

Leading the way for the club in the Championship's sprint weekend was Aaron Eveleigh with two gold medal winning swims in the 50m freestyle and butterfly.

Eveleigh also backed up his winning performances with a bronze in the final of the 50m backstroke to take a secure position in the overall boy's leader board.

Sarah Wright took her second individual gold medal at the County Championships by repeating last year's winning performance to win the 12-year girls' 50m backstroke title.

She made it a great day by adding two fifth places in the finals of the 50m butterfly and freestyle.

In the same age group, Georgina Hunt took a huge chunk off her personal best to take the silver medal in the 12 year 50 breaststroke.

In his first County Championships, Henry Newton made the final in the 10 year 50 butterfly, eventually taking fifth position and gaining experience.

Chloe Davis made her championship debut in the 10-year girls group and produced a great personal best to reach the final of the 50 freestyle, coming fifth.
