Taking the plunge - two pupils from Crowstone Preparatory School, Shopland, swam with great effect for East Anglia in the national independent schools' championships at Coventry. Eight-year-old Emily Burnett (left) finished third while Hermione Isaac, ten, had a fifth placing. The duo are pictured at Southend's Warrior Square Pool giving "high fives" with Crowstone sports teacher Glenn Pennyfather.
