The Bermuda Amateur Swimming Association’s Schroders Summer Age Group Championships got underway at the BASA Pool.
The first night saw some very impressive swims to start off a long weekend of racing. First up was Maddy Moore in the 50m Backstroke Time Trial, Moore was looking to set her last record in the Girls 11 and 12 Age Group as her Birthday is tomorrow and she will have to set her sights on Girls 13-14 records.
The previous Girls 11 and 12 Age Group record which Moore set herself was 32.93, but Moore shattered that with a 30.76 which is faster than the current Girls 13-14 record and 1 hundredth of a second slower than the Girls 15-16 record.
Next saw some strong swims in the 400m Freestyle events for the 10 and Under Age Group and several swimmers swam personal best times. The 800m Freestyle was next in the water and Shannon Hassell captured the lead right from the start and pushed herself throughout the race Girls 13 – 14 race.
Hassell lowered her Personal Best and broke the 800 record in the process, the previous record was held by Eleanor Garner set back in 2005 at 10:00.59 Hassell came in at an impressive 9:49.84.
The last event for the evening was the 1,500m Freestyle that saw several swimmers lower their times in some strong distance swims.
