A YOUNG Worcester Swimming Club ace won a bronze medal with the Midlands team at the Independent Schools Association (ISA) National Swimming Finals.

Olivia Odell, of Hampton Lovett near Droitwich Spa, competed at the London Aquatics Centre with the third-placed 4x50-metre year seven girls’ medley relay.

Aspiring Olympian Odell, a pupil at Tettenhall College, Wolverhampton, set a personal best time and finished sixth in her individual breaststroke race.

It was valuable experience in a 50-metre pool at the 2012 Olympics venue for the 11-year-old who is also a keen cricketer for Droitwich Spa.
