BALLARAT Swimming Club's Matthew Lyons and Lauren Hollioake won five gold medals each to reign supreme at the Victorian country short course championships at the weekend.
Lyons, competing in the 14-15 years category, also set a country record in the 100m butterfly, while brother Rob broke the previous best open breaststroke time.
The dazzling duo was magnificently supported by 10 other multiple medallists, including fellow title winners James Oakley, Robert Lyons, Regan Hollioake and Josh Dew.
Over 1300 swimmers took part in the two-day carnival at Shepparton, which hosts the long course country championships in January.
