The 19-year-old - nicknamed the Fenside Fish - was competing in the S9 category at Manchester Aquatics Centre.

He claimed a seven-second personal best in the 400m freestyle, a four-second PB in the 200m intermediate and a 3.5-second best in the 100m backstroke, claiming silver medals in both events.

He added a bronze and a further personal best in the 100m breaststroke.

Coach Ian Wells described Boyfield as ‘on fire’, with his results all the more impressive as he was being treated for a shoulder injury the same week as the competition.

The swimmer has been supported by Bridge View Osteopaths, Acorn Taxis and Calders and Grandidge.
