Bermuda's Olympians, Emma and Jack Harvey, have wrapped up their impressive showing at the 2025 TYR Pro Swim Series in Fort Lauderdale, USA, with both athletes delivering strong performances in their respective finals on Day Four at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center.
Jack Harvey, recently crowned Bermuda's Male Athlete of the Year, continued his record-breaking form in the A Final of the Men's 100m Backstroke. His powerful swim saw him finish second, clocking a time of 54.56 seconds. This performance not only secured a strong podium finish but also remarkably broke the national record of 54.87 seconds that he had set earlier in the very same day during the preliminary rounds. This marks another significant milestone for Harvey in his burgeoning backstroke career.
Emma Harvey also made her mark in the finals, finishing fourth in the Women's 100m Butterfly B Final. Her time of 59.88 seconds was a personal triumph as it eclipsed her own Bermuda record of 59.89 seconds, which she had set back on January 12th, 2024, during the TYR Pro Swim Series in Knoxville. This achievement underscores her consistent improvement and competitiveness in the butterfly events on the international stage.
Both siblings had earlier demonstrated their prowess in the preliminary rounds. Jack Harvey qualified for his third A Final of the series in the 100m Backstroke, setting a new national record in the process. Emma Harvey secured her place in the B Final of the 100m Butterfly after a strong preliminary swim.
The TYR Pro Swim Series in Fort Lauderdale has been a resounding success for the Harvey siblings, with Jack breaking the national record twice in the 100m Backstroke and Emma setting a new national benchmark in the 100m Butterfly, adding to her record-breaking swim in the 50m Butterfly earlier in the meet. Their performances highlight their dedication and talent as they continue to represent Bermuda with distinction on the international swimming circuit.
