A GROUP of youngsters are feeling top of the class after being picked out to win prizes out of of 200 pupils.

Swimmers Jake Clements-Green, Leon Butcher, Jacob Sullivan and Tom Howard were among eight awarded by Penketh Swimming Club for good attendance, good improvement and showing positive determination.

Geoff Fellows, chairman and chief coach, said everyone had been working really hard and deserved their awards.

Spaces are still available for swimmers and non-swimmers to join the club.

Anyone who wants to get involved or become a volunteer should visit the Penketh Swimming Club Facebook page or e-mail communications@penkethswim.co.uk.
