The first Best of Best Swim Meet took place at the Warwick Academy School Pool, the event for the Bermuda Amateur Swimming Association proved to be very successful.
National Swimming coach Ben Smith said, “We were worried at the start that the cool temperatures would affect the swims but the racing was as fast as ever.”
“Many of the swimmers that participated in the training camps over the school break were in great form today,” continued Smith.
Smith went on to say, “We had multiple Personal Best swims and many swimmers came very close to hitting Qualifying Times for Carifta.”
Shannon Botelho competed in the 100 Meter Freestyle, he hit his second time for Carifta and has now joined a group of 14 swimmers that have hit the times.
“Philip Hagen who has been working hard all season and endured the Florida training camp is showing what we can expect at Carifta,” Smith went on to say.
Hagen was able to set a Personal Best in the 100 Meter Freestyle and set a new record in the 100 IM. Maddie Moore continued her strong season by lowering her own 11-12 Girls Age Group records in the 50 Meter Backstroke and the 50 Meter Freestyle.
Smith concluded, “The Sharks swim team was able to set 3 Relay records to conclude a successful meet.”
