There were some disqualifications through careless mistakes during turns and finishes. This is very disappointing after waiting for a race to start. If you have any doubts  on how to do anything in a race always speak to your coaches before the event and even poolside if needed. All individual swim times now updated.

Good luck to all those swimmers taking part in next Saturdays event
