A mid-Norfolk swimming club has made a splash at a gala and walked away with plenty of medals. 

Dereham Otters swimmers are celebrating after gold, silver and bronze wins at the Swim England Norfolk County Championships.

More than 35 swimmers represented the club across three weekends, hosted at the UEA Sportspark in Norwich, against nine other teams from across the county. 

Among the Otters' high performers was 12-year-old Anastasia Wall, who claimed bronze in the 800m freestyle, U13s 50m and 100m butterfly final.

And 11-year-old William Nutt won gold medals in both the 100m and 200m breaststroke, as well as a silver medal in the 50m freestyle.

Amelie Parnell, 12, also struck gold, taking first place in the U12 girls' 100m backstroke. She also won silver in 200m backstroke and four bronze medals - for the 50m breaststroke, 100m breaststroke, 50m backstroke and 200m individual medley.

Liam Harvey, head coach, said: “The swimmers have been refining their techniques and it’s fantastic to see the work we’ve been doing now reflecting in their competition performances.”
