Championship Records

It looks like 14 Championship records were broken across the girls age-groups and 10 records were broken across the girls age groups over the course of 2016 Club Champs.  A further 4 new records were establishd in the boys category in the 100m events in the 10&U category (previously these events were not swum by this age group).

The oldest record to fall in the girls was in the 13-14 age group where Rebecca Gooch took the 100m backstroke championship record in a time of 1.11.32 from Amy Waddington (bettering Amy's time by 0.77 seconds) - a record that had stood since 1997.

In the boys, the oldest record to go was in the 15-16 age group where Stanley Richardson took the 200m backstroke championship record in a time of 2.36.76 from Ross Mould - (bettering Ross' time by 0.05 seconds) - a record that had stood since 2009

The biggest time improvement on any record went to Ellie Hollier who set a new 800m Free Championship record of 10:30.52 which was a whoping 24 seconds faster than the previous record set by Louisa Emery in 2011.

All the new Championship Records can be found in the Personal Bests section of the members' area of the website now.  Well done to all those who set a new record at these champs... the complete roll call of honour is below:

Leah Evans, Daisy Manners-Lolley, Rebecca Gooch, Ellie Hollier, George Lowe, Max Evans, Woody Hewitson, Eddie Richardson, Guus Verkade, Stan Richardson and Bjorn Hoffman
