Their exceptional performances garnered attention and admiration from the swimming community.

A significant highlight of the championships was the exceptional achievement of three remarkable athletes, Nick Sloman, Tom Raymond, and Esther Davies.

They emerged as the shining stars of the competition, clinching well-deserved medals for their outstanding performances.
