But Watchet - whose Guides just missed the honour - were the winners of the Brownie Guide Cup in the gala held at Quantock pool, Over Stowey, on Saturday June 16.
Mary Veale and Betty Smithers kept score as the girls from Washford, Watchet, Alcombe and Minehead competed in backstroke, breaststroke, relays and freestyle races.
Glenys Knight was the starter, Lynda Hatch was the competitors' marshall and Bernice Danby and Louise Palmer were the judges.
Afterwards, certificates designed by Karen Wright and written out by George Reynolds were presented to the winners.
Trophies were presented by Lord Lieutenant of Somerset Lady Gass pictured with Christine le Rendu and the Brownie Guide Cup.
Minehead Division Commissioner Jackie Dascombe said the gala was a big success and thanked all those who helped.
