It was the third time Andrew Catchpole competed in the Championships, but for Claire Molineux and Alexie Boulton it was a brand new experience.
"I think I went well," 14-year-old Boulton said, after placing 35th in the 100m Breaststroke and 21st in the 200m Breaststroke.
"It's always good to go, it's pretty impressive," Catchpole said.
The 15-year-old had a self-confessed off-day, well off his best times, but still managed to place equal ninth in the 100m Breaststroke, 22nd in the 200m Breaststroke and 45th in the 200 IM.
"I don't get nerves, so I don't know what happened... but it was fun," Catchpole said.
Despite the change of location 14-year-old Molineux placed 13th in the 200m Backstroke and just missed out on the finals of the 100m Backstroke, placing 11th with a personal best performance.
"It was a whole different set up to what we're used to, but it was really good," she said.
