Well done to you all on some great swimming. Also a huge congratulations to Tom Robinson and George Mitton who excelled at the swimming carnival breaking long-standing records as well as their own PB’s.
Tom owned the pool, breaking records in the 16 years male 50m freestyle (26.37 secs), 50m butterfly (28.91 secs), 50m backstroke (34.15 secs), 50m breaststroke (37.05 secs), 100m freestyle (1.00.84), 200m freestyle (2.23.19) and open 200m IM (2.42.09). Tom was only .2 of a second outside his own open 400m freestyle record set in 2017. This is a huge achievement, well done Tom.
George broke the 15 years male 50m freestyle (28.11 secs) and the 50m breaststroke (36.55) records.A top effort George well done.
Previous record holders included Gerard Carroll, Adam Carr, Darren Freudenstein and Peter Buckley, so it was certainly exciting for those in attendance to see some of those long-standing records fall.
The school athletics carnival will be held on Friday April 13, we hope to see some old records broken and we will find out if Lehane or McCabe can topple McNamara. Best of luck to all participants.
