For a good cause it may have been, but 13-year olds Izzie, Taylor, and Kristen were feeling far from charitable as they demolished the field at last Friday's Swim for Children event in Abu Dhabi.
Competing in the 1,000m race at Le Meridien Abu Dhabi's second Swim for Children, the girls from 4th Lane Swim Academy swept the competition aside to power to victory.
The girls may have their feet firmly on the ground for the time being, they have their sights set on the biggest prize of all – we caught up with them after the event to find out more about their aspirations.
