The only people likely to smile when they get speeding tickets are swimmers.

But these are not the type that glare back from car windscreens. They are awarded to those who cut a swathe faster than entry times required for competition.

Ealing’s youngsters blazed a paper trail in tickets this week at the Middlesex County Winter Development Meet in Enfield.

Leading the way were Ealing’s 11-year-old girls with 11 tickets between them.

Making waves: L-R, Rinda-Naresh, Louise-Walsh, Juliette Buckle, (in front) RigasLambakis

Anel Utepova (50m free, back, breast, 100m back and 200m free) was followed by Connie McKenna and Ruby Benson each with two, while Connie blitzed a massive 11 seconds off her previous best time for breaststroke. Millie Vadon was also ticketed in the 100m freestyle to pick up bronze.

Another Millie, this time Millie Bruton, earned a ticket in the 50m breaststroke. Ella Train steamed to a haul of three golds (50m back and 10mm free and back) and a further two bronzes.

In the youngest age group, 10-year-old Leah Whittaker, Rex Booth with a 34-second PB, and Rigas Lambakis were all deemed speedsters. Yuri Borak came away with gold in 50m fly, silver in both 50m breaststroke and backstroke and bronze in 100m fly.

Pietro Lombardo (12) smashed his 400 individual medley time by over a minute. Sarah Pereira medalled six times, and others with gongs were Lara Kovenklioglu and Jada Cooke.

Up an age group to 13 years, Iris Booth, Roisin Horan and Milos Decermic piled up the silverware.

Emily Bryce led the way in the 14 years group with treble silver, while Phoebe Lovell received double bronze.

Fifteen-year-old Seifeldin Elkholy took gold in all four of his events. His sister, Habiba, took two gold and two silver. Louise Walsh was first twice, with one third, and Rinda Naresh took gold, silver and bronze.

In the 16 and 17 age bracket, Harry Lovell, Juliet Buckle, Maya Forster, Eric Ni Yan, Jan Andrzejczyk, Mohamed Hammad and Chris May all made sure the name ‘Ealing’ was announced so many times in Enfield, organisers should have made a tape to save themselves the effort.
