Britain enjoyed more success at Barcelona's Mare Nostrum swimming meet on Sunday as David Davies and Chris Cook both claimed gold medals.

Davies won the 1500m freestyle in a time of 15 minutes 8.51 seconds for a new championship record.

Cook, meanwhile, won his second gold of the weekend with victory in the 100m breaststroke final.

Lizzie Simmonds demonstrated her promise at 14-years-old with a second silver medal in the 100m backstroke.

Simmonds' success was repeated by team-mate Kerri-Anne Payne with her silver in the 400m medley and a time just short of the British record.

Gregor Tait took bronze in the men's 100m backstroke, while Joe Roebuck also grabbed a bronze in the 400m medley.

"The team did really well," said GB coach Sean Kelly.

"They raised their performance and put in some great swims."
