England's James Guy and Welsh swimmer Chloe Tutton won bronze medals at the European Championships in London.
Guy, 20, took third behind winner Dutchman Sebastiaan Verschuren as he secured a 200m freestyle medal after missing out on the men's 400m final.
Tutton, 19, claimed bronze in the 100m women's breaststroke race won by world record holder Ruta Meilutyte.
The Plymouth-based Lithuanian was winning back at the pool where she took the 2012 Olympic title aged 15.
Meilutyte triumphed in one minute 6.17 seconds, ahead of Iceland's Hilda Luthersdottir, with Tutton edging out Irish swimmer Fiona Doyle for third in 1:07.50 and Tutton's team-mate Molly Renshaw in seventh.
"That race was amazing. I'm just over the moon," Tutton told BBC Sport.
Verschuren won gold in a time of 1:46.02, with Serbia's Velimir Stjepanovic second (1:46.26) and Guy finishing in 1:46.42.
"For me that was a great swim and a season's best. Rio is going to be a real scrap to the finish line," said Guy.
Britain's Max Litchfield and Dan Wallace were seventh and eighth in the men's 200m individual medley final won by Greece's Andreas Vazaios.
Scot Ross Murdoch breezed through to Thursday's 200m breaststroke final with a winning time of 2:09.72.
