Interim gala 2 Fly and Backstroke Results
19 May 2013
A very good turnout on Sunday afternoon. Full
results for Sundays gala can now be accessed on Members page tab, Internal
gala, individual results to follow.
A busy
afternoon with lots of first time swims and personal best times achieved. A
special WELL DONE! To all swimmers who attempted the longer 200 meter races.
New club records were set today , first time 200 meter fly at this interim meet are set by Anna Hulme for the girls 200 meter
fly with a time of 3:04:46 and the boys by Kieran Hennessey with a time of
2:51:47 again a massive well done.
In addition to this Kieran also broke an existing
record in the 200 meter backstroke when he broke a record with a massive margin
of 3 seconds! The new record now set by Kieran is 2:43:13.
Both Anna and Kieran have worked hard to set these
times and the many hours they spend in the pool and doing other activities (Anna
had just come from a triathlon- which she had won!) This shows what all the
hard work they put in can reward them with.
There are plenty of other personal best times and
excellent first time swims.
There were a number of swimmers that had pre
entered the event and did not notify that they would not be attending. With
these events we would really appreciate a short message or email withdrawing
from the event. This allows us to schedule the races more effectively and
possibly allow swimmers with late entries to take part.
Anyone that has been disqualified please speak to
your coach regarding this to get feedback and use this friendly interim gala as
experience for the Club Championships and other galas.
Main disqualificationÆs on fly arms not brought
together and on backstroke û left position on the back other than to initiate a
turn. These are things that can be worked on and for the older swimmers careless
mistakes.
Well done everyone and thanks to all that helped the event run well.Main results on members page and all swimmers times updated
