Six medals were won by University of Bath swimmers – one gold and five silver – on a super Saturday night in the pool on day two of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Ben Proud of the University’s swimming club reclaimed the 50m butterfly title he had won at Glasgow 2014 and sporting scholar Tom Dean took silver in his latest epic 200m freestyle battle with Scotland’s Duncan Scott.

Dean grabbed a second silver of the evening, and a third of the Games so far, as he and fellow Olympic Champion James Guy helped England finish runners-up to Australia in the men’s 4x100m freestyle final.

British Swimming Performance Centre Bath swimmer Freya Anderson and Bath alumna Anna Hopkin did likewise in the women’s relay and there was a first-ever international medal for Brodie Williams, who set a lifetime best on his way to 100m backstroke silver.

Team Bath’s Imogen Allison, Sophie Drakeford-Lewis and Layla Guscoth helped England’s netballers to a second win in as many days, this time against Malawi.
