The Kelly girl?s all performed most admirably in their heats to ensure they all made it to the grand final.

The Under 11 girls, Amy Bayliss, Hannah Salter, Charlotte Spicer and Annie Tinsley showed their fighting team spirit in both their relay events.
Narrowly missing the gold medal (1:01.93) to take the silver (1:02.00) in the 4 x 25m freestyle relay and the bronze in the 4 x 25m medley event.
