Manx swimmer Cameron Leslie brought home a bronze medal from the Swim North West Open Water Championships.
Cameron travelled to Sale Water Park in Manchester at the weekend to use the championships as a training exercise for a triathlon.
However, he exceeded expectations at his first open water event by bringing home a bronze medal in the Lancashire Category.
He was also placed 4th in the North West in the 3km race.
This result has qualified Cameron for the 5km Swim England Nationals Open Water Championships at Rother Valley on July 26.
Swimming at Sale
Isle of Man Swimming team mate, Kiera Prentice, was also in action at Sale.
She competed in the 5km event under her UK-based team, City of Manchester Aquatics.
Kiera qualified last season to compete at the Swim England Summer Championships both in the pool in the 1500m freestyle and the Open Water Championships.
She successfully repeated this result in winning a silver medal that also qualifies Kiera to contest the 7.5km event in July.
