A BROTHER and sister cost their parents dear when they excelled in a recent swimming competition.
Jodie and Robert Galtrey, from Thirsk, managed to beat five personal bests by nearly two seconds each, meaning they took a £20 bonus from their mother and father.
The youngsters were part of the Thirsk White Horse Swim Team that took part in a competition, held in Sheffield, last week.
Twenty-two swimmers between the ages of nine and 16 competed against some of the country's top teams. The Thirsk side came sixth out of 39 clubs. It broke 62 records and nine swimmers got "speeding tickets" after beating a pre-set cut-off time, which means they are now able to compete at a higher level.
