He also pocketed the £30 cash for winning the Medley skins event. His wins were in the 100m, 200m and 400m freestyle and the 100m and 200m backstroke, and his second places were in the 50m freestyle and 100m breaststroke.
In the same age group, Justin Craig also won a gold medal for the 50m freestyle and three silver medals in the 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle and 100m backstroke.
