Mackensey House won the women's race with a time of 1:00.26, while Zander Coates was victorious in the boys claiming first in a time of 54.8 at the Albury pool.
Wodonga also filled second and third spots in the men's race, with Will Elgin placing second with a time of 55.07 and Patrick Duggon third with 58.4.
Wodonga City Swim Club's Kylie Crofts came second in the women's, swimming it in a time of 1:02.33, while Albury Amateur Swimming Club's Brooke King landed third at 1:03.92.
18-year-old House claimed the event three years ago, with the 2019 and 2018 winner Maggie Skewes of Wangaratta not competing this year.
House has been attending the Ovens and Murray Swimming Championships since she was 12-years-old.
"It was good, I would have liked to have gone a bit faster," she said.
"There's not too many girl swimmers in our area which is unfortunate, but it's good getting everyone against each other."
The talented youngster is now gearing up for a state sprints event next weekend, while also preparing to take to the netball court in Wodonga Raiders' A-grade side when the Ovens and Murray football and netball season commences next month.

House said she enjoys competing in both sports.
"I feel like they're so different, it's nice to do both," she said.
"I'm excited for netball to start up again, I miss it a bit."
It marked the second time 18-year-old Coates has claimed the event, going back-to-back in the pool.
"(The time) wasn't what I was wanting, but I got there in the end so I can't complain," Coates said.
"Hopefully I can come back next year and swim faster."
He added it was great to swim alongside his fellow club mates, with all three jumping on the podium.
"We all train together and swim together, so we all love it," he said.
"It's good to have all the boys up there.
"I always love racing in this race because everyone gets along with each other from all of the clubs, you can't go wrong."
