Leon Taylor led the way for Worthing with six race wins in a variety of events while other club members Jamie Bond and Lyra Walton also collected gold medals. All events in the county competition, except the 100metre individual medley, were swum as heat declared winner races with no finals and an individual points competition for each age group up to the age of 14.

Worthing, who had 28 swimmers qualify but only 23 compete, collected an impressive medal haul.
