THREE swimmers represented Bolton Metro Swimming Squad at Oldham's Top of the World Gala last weekend.

Hollie Harthern, Helen Pearson and Steven Kirwin joined competitors from as far afield as Bournmouth and the Isle of Man in this popular age on the day event.

It favours swimmers with birthdays late in the year so they compete at their current age and not at their age at the end of the year.

The BMSS contingent swam excellently, each swimmer reaching their age group finals in 100 metre, freestyle, butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke.

Hollie won the breaststroke, butterfly and backstroke finals, Helen the butterfly, backstroke and freestyle and Steven the freestyle and backstroke.
