Bancroft recorded personal best times in the 400m freestyle and 100m butterfly to earn places in the finals, while her times in all four events were qualifying standards for this summer's ASA National Youth Championships.
At Milton Keynes, a team of 15 City swimmers took part in the level 2 'Last Chance Regional Qualifier' meeting.
Molly Williamson, 12, finished third in the 400m individual medley in a time of 5.35.46 - 12 seconds inside the regional qualifying time.
She went one better in the 200m butterfly, clocking 2.47.61 to earn a silver medal.
Lucy Smith was the fastest 11-year-old in the 100m butterfly with a personal best of 1.20.33.
She also posted qualifying times in the 50, 100 and 200m freestyle.
