Moorcroft, 13, came in the top ten in the 100 metres and 200m backstroke distance events in Leeds, while he joined 17-year-old Max Nozedar and Emily Hill, 11, in achieving a full set of personal best long course times.
At the sprint events in Sheffield, Esme Littlewood, 13, and Rhiannon Wood, 13, joined Hill and Moorcroft in representing Team Jorvik.
