SUPER swimmer Natalie Routledge has once again picked up a clutch of awards after breaking three records and setting four personal bests.
In the Eston Amateur Swimming Association's annual swimming gala, the eight-year-old competed in six events.
She also won the Swimmer of the Meet award for the most achievements in the gala and picked up the most improved under-tens award.
Her mother, Kim Newman, said: "This is some achievement for any swimmer, let alone a girl who has not even turned nine yet.
"Both me and her dad are very proud of her."
She is now taking part in lifesaving lessons and hopes to complete them next year.
She will also take part in national open galas and her dream is to represent her country in the Olympics.
Ms Newman said: "She is a bit of a water-baby and it just comes naturally to her. Hopefully one day she will represent the country in the Olympics."
