Rushmoor synchronised swimmers dominated the British Championships with a clean sweep of all titles for the Surrey-based club.

Trophies for the team, duet and solo competitions all went to Rushmoor as the club put in another impressive showing against the best in the country.

Rushmoor's strength within the sport of synchronised swimming was highlighted by the fact that four of the top-five placings in the solo event went to the club's athletes.

Eventual winner of the solo title was Jenna Randall who won by some margin with a score of 82.334. Team mate Lauren Smith was second with 75.584 and Fiona Haworth of City of Preston was third with 73.418.

Smith partnered Louise Woolley to success in the free and technical duet routines to take the title with 75.834 from Joanne Bean and Alexandra Barnett of Gateshead on 74.500, and Rushmoor's Hayley Tribe and Jennifer Waterfield on 71.417.

Rusmoor's team title was gained with a score of 77.084 with Gateshead in second on 73.750 and Bristol Central were third with 72.167.

The Championships also helped to define the possible team England will send to the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in March.

Randall and Olivia Alison (both Rushmoor) together with Hannah Massey (Bristol Central) have been nominated for the duet event with Randall's victory in the solo event seeing her nominated to compete for the solo prize in Melbourne.
