Blair landed two Best Girl awards, one in the 11/12 girls over all three rounds of the championships and the other for the highest points scored in the capital last weekend.

She also swam a 6.83secs PB of 1min 21.24secs to win the 11/12 girls District backstroke title ahead of Fins team-mate Millie Whytock, who was just 1.49secs behind to get silver, despite being in the younger half of the two-year age group.

Blair also scooped silver medals in the freestyle and butterfly, plus bronzes in the breaststroke and individual medley.

Fins’ other district title won on the day came courtesy of Adam Selbie, 14 years boys, again in the backstroke with a time of 1min 7.94secs, recording a 6.08secs PB.

Selbie also finished fourth in the individual medley and fifth in the butterfly, breaststroke and freestyle.

final swims, finishing 10th in the freestyle and 13th in the butterfly.

The two-day meeting featured five events in all six age groups, both male and female, namely 100m in all four individual strokes, plus a 200m individual medley.
