TOP swimmer Hannah Bickerdike has scooped a string of medals at the Dutch Open in Holland.
The 25-year-old Haxby-based ace won gold in the 200 metres freestyle, 100m breaststroke and 100m individual medley.
She also plundered silver in the 100m freestyle and bronze in both the 50m freestyle and 50m butterfly.
Hannah, a wheelchair user who trains at York's Yearsley swimming pool around four times a week, travelled to Holland as a member of the Association of British Swimmers team.
She was first invited to join the team 14 years ago after being talent-spotted while competing in the British Wheelchair Championships.
At the Dutch event she and her team-mates competed against swimmers from across Europe, as well as three other British teams.
