BROMGROVE sisters Laura and Claire Ashford made it a double celebration last month.
The North Bromsgrove High School pupils both won gold medals at Worcester Swimming Club's open meeting.
Laura, aged 15, took first place in the 200 metre freestyle and finished second to Claire in the 400 metre freestyle.
Thirteen-year-old Claire finished fifth in the 200 metre freestyle race which Laura won.
The talented duo, who have both done well in several county events, were representing Bromsgrove Swim-ming Club in a gala featuring major clubs including the cities of Sheffield, Coventry and Oxford, Bath University and Perry Beeches.
Their fine performances were good enough to see both girls qualify for the prestigious Midland District Swimming Championships in Coventry next year.
