Masters relays are based on the combined ages of the swimmers, and the records came in the 160 to 199 years age group.
Three local swimmers, Andrew Carr, Andrew Gristwood and Carolyn Riley were joined by Sheffield-based sprint specialist, Lynne Dawson.
The quartet set records in the 4x100m freestyle relay and 4x100m medley relay.
They also finished a creditable second in the 4x200m freestyle relay.
In the individual events, Carr took gold in the 40 to 44 years 800m freestyle, 400m individual medley and 100m breastroke and took silver in the 200m individual medley.
Gristwood took silver in the 45 to 49 years 400m and 800m freestyle and 200m backstroke.
Riley, in what may be her last competitive swim for some time as she is now concentrating on her road running, took silver in the 200m individual medley and bronze in the 100m breastroke and 800m freestyle.
