Waltham Forest Gators swimmer Emanuel Joseph has qualified for the London Regional gala after an impressive showing at Crystal Palace.

The 11-year-old will now be taking on the 400 meter individual medley, 400M, 200M and 100M freestyle at the gala in June.

Joseph banked three London times at Crystal Palace and said: "I love swimming the 400m as I seem to get better during longer races.

"I so wanted to get a London time in the 400 individual medley because it is more difficult than any other race, as there are so many things that you can get wrong - and to get the 400 freestyle as well is fantastic."

Also in action was 12-year-old Esteban Marmolejo. He secured another national time for the 200m individual medley to go with his national time already banked for the 100m backstroke.
