Isaac, 17, a breaststroke specialist, was crowned ‘17-year-old boys 2021 British Champion' and competed at the Swim England winter nationals where he set a new personal best in the 200m.

Dad Mike said: “On top of that he also took part in the British Schools National Biathlon Championships at Bath University.

"This consisted of a 1600m run and 200m swim. Isaac finished third in the run and first in the swim.

"This was enough to win him the ‘17-year-old boys 2021 British Champion' award.

"An amazing achievement.”

Meanwhile his sister Maia, 19, is part- way through her first-year swimming for the Nebraska University Huskers.

She competed at the US open in North Carolina, qualifying for the ‘A’ final in the 200m breaststroke - the only swimmer from the Huskers to qualify.
