Great Britain's Filip Nowacki has broken the European junior short course record in the 200m breaststroke.
The 18-year-old from Jersey came second in his semi-final at the European Short Course Championships in a time of two minutes 3.75 seconds (2:03.75).
He finished 0.43 seconds behind Spanish senior swimmer Carles Coll Marti at the championships in the Polish city of Lublin.
The record is the latest in a breakout year for Nowacki, who won World and European junior titles in the 100m and 200m breaststroke and set the European long course 200m record.
He won his first senior medals at the British Championships at the start of the year and while representing his home island of Jersey, Nowacki took home eight gold medals at this summer's Island Games.
