Swimmers Rhiannon Henry and Elaine Barrett both claimed their third gold medals at the International Blind Sports Association games in Quebec.
Henry was victorious in the B3 200m in a new British-record time of two minutes 18.91seconds, with compatriot Jemma Houghton just missing a medal in fourth place.
Her success comes after earlier wins in the B3 800m freestyle and the B2 100m butterfly.
Barrett claimed gold in the B1 100m breaststroke in 1:29.94, which follows gold in the B1 200m breaststroke and the B1 100m butterfly.
Elsewhere in the pool, there was a silver for Dervis Konuralp in the B3 100m breaststroke and a bronze for Darren Leach in the B2 100m breaststroke.
In the athletics competition, Neville Bonfield won a surprise gold in the B2 high jump, reaching a height of 1.79m while Andy Curtis qualified for the semi-finals of the B1 200m.
Maxine Ingram missed out on a medal in the judo competition but her performance has secured a place for a Great Britain player in the Athens Paralympics.
