THREE members of Cleethorpes and District Swimming Club took part in the Great Britain Long Course Championships at Glasgow's Tollcross international pool.

Sally Osbourne returned to competitive swimming after a gap of two years.

Her last competition was the open water swim in the World Championships in Perth.

Now competing in the 75 to 79 years age group, Sally was in good form and took gold medals in all three breaststroke events – the 50m, 100m and 200m.

Former international Andrew Carr, competing in his final long course championships in the 40 to 44 years age group, took gold in the 400m individual medley and silver in the 800m freestyle – which was a close event with only a second separating the first three swimmers.

Andrew Gristwood, who competes in the 45 to 49 years section, had his best result in the 400m individual medley, in which he took silver.

In addition, he took bronze in the 200m and 800m freestyle and 200m butterfly.

The two Andrews have both shown significant improvements in the last year since taking advice and following training plans set by local coach Alan Keenan, who is now planning towards this year's world championships in Sweden and the national shortcourse championships at Sheffield in October.
