“He has shown incredible work ethic and a desire to improve over the last year.
“Getting to swim in Sheffield against the best in the country is just reward for his tremendous attitude to training and competing.
“His achievements will inspire others within the club that it is possible to reach this level of performance.
“It is also great to see Isla and Georgia represent Dursley Dolphins within the Gloucester County team.
“They have progressed well this season and both thoroughly deserve their call up for the meet.
“Isla has recently made South West Region finals in the 50m and 100m Backstroke finishing 6th and 5th which was brilliant!
