Swimmer Charlotte Atkinson continued her preparations for next month’s World Championships in Budapest with a silver medal at the Seven Hills meet in Rome on Sunday.

Atkinson was runner-up in the 200m butterfly as part of the Great Britain team she will represent in Hungary.

The former Ballakermeen student said: ‘I’ve been to Thailand, Japan, Rome – it’s been so good since making the worlds team, so exciting.

‘I am not going in with any pressure on myself. I am just going to go in, enjoy it and see what the outcome is.’
