The gold were awarded for length swimming, with the remaining three to freestyle, relay and an egg, flip and wobble race.

The Disability Swimming Gala aims to provide over 250 pupils the chance to have fun and compete and the games scheme is now the biggest in the country of its kind as it concludes its ninth year.

Salt Ayre Leisure Centre hosted the event, and Kevin Loughran, School Games Organiser for South Ribble said, “The Disability Swimming Gala marks an exciting year for fully inclusive sport in Lancashire. The event has been designed to ensure each child is challenged in a fun way.
