Dunmow Atlantis swimmers headed to Basildon for the Winter Counties event - their first gala in almost two years.
Swimming against clubs from across Essex, the return to competition did not affect or deter the Dunmo contingent as they not only smashed personal best times but many picked up Essex county and east region qualifying times.
The icing on the cake were a flurry of medals and top eight places.

Head Coach Darren Tucker said: "This was an emphatic return for the club and they came out fighting for times straight away.
"Each swimmer put aside any worries about getting back in the water and gave superb performances across the board.
"I am so proud of them all."
