England’s Siobhan-Marie O’Connor and Wales’ Jazz Carlin added silvers in the 200m medley and 800m respectively.

And Hannah Miley and Kathleen Dawson of Scotland claimed bronze in those events.

However, the British women’s team just missed out on a medal in the 4x200m freestyle relay, finishing fourth.
