Emily Jelfs had a lightning start in the 100 freestyle producing a PB and a top 25 finish in one of the most competitive events.
The girls 4 x 100m Medley Relay Team of Aimee Abrey, Grace Rayner, Megan Pirrie and Emily Jelfs swam to a 13th place finish with some great racing and take overs, all showing great commitment and team spirit.
