IT was a bravura performance from the young swimmers from Sidcup.

The 12 youngsters from Holy Trinity Lamorbey CofE School dominated every event in this year’s Bexley Formal Schools Gala at the Crook Log leisure centre in Bexleyheath.

The Sidcup swimmers, aged between nine and 11, managed to get swimmers into the finals of all 15 races and their lowest placing was fourth.

The school chalked up more than 100 points, which was more than double the score of the two schools who took joint second place.

Not only did the school in Burnt Oak Lane, win the Bexley Schools swimming shield for the second year running, swimmers Charis Mills, Benjamin Grove and Alex Westlake won their individual events and Phoebe Cooper won the mixed relay shield
