Fullalove and Lloyd among the medals

SWIMMING: 

OLYMPIAN Jess Lloyd and Jess Fullalove were busy getting pool-time during the Manchester International Swim Meet

The two-day event saw Diggle’s Lloyd and Fullalove, from Royton, take part in both individual and team events for City of Mancchester.

Lloyd, a member of Team GB at the 2012 Olympics, was outside the medals in the 50-metre backstroke and the 50m freestyle. But she joined Nathan Bennett, Sam Horrocks and Rebecca Guy to bag a bronze in the 200m mixed freestyle relay.

Fullalove, who is hoping to secure a place in Team GB for Rio 2016, was third in the 200m backstroke, runner-up in the 100m backstroke, and along with Horrocks, Guy and Christopher Steeples, topped the podium in the mixed 200m medley relay.
