And it proved to be a hugely successful outing for the Lanark ASC party, as club members Evi Mackie and Millie McArthur both won ‘Best Swimmer’ shields in their respective age groups.

Ten-year-old Evi went through the card winning all her five 200m events; fly, back, breast, free and IM while Millie (13) was first in back and IM, second in the fly and third in the freestyle.
