The National Sports Centre was the stage for a series of dominant performances this weekend as the Bermuda Amateur Swimming Association hosted its 2026 Spring Long Course Meet. With the island's elite swimmers looking to sharpen their times ahead of a busy international season, the standard of competition remained exceptionally high across the senior divisions.
In the Men’s 15 and Over 50 Metre Freestyle, Jack Harvey produced the standout sprint of the session. Harvey stopped the clock at a blistering 23.36 seconds to claim a comfortable victory, underscoring his position as one of the island’s premier sprinters. The women’s equivalent saw veteran Lisa Blackburn continue her consistent form, securing top spot with a time of 32.71 seconds. However, the fastest female sprint of the day came during a time trial, where Madelyn Moore showcased her world-class speed by clocking a superb 26.23 seconds.
The Individual Medley events provided a rigorous test of versatility, and Sam Williamson rose to the occasion in the Men’s 200 Metre final. Williamson delivered a clinical performance to finish in 2 minutes 09.69 seconds, finishing well clear of Joseph Lau and Noah Fulton. The Women’s 200 Metre Individual Medley was a much tighter affair, with Scarlett Spurling claiming victory in 2 minutes 49.92 seconds. She was pushed all the way to the wall by Jorgia A White and Lila Connolly, who finished second and third respectively.
The backstroke events concluded the senior program with several competitive duels. Joseph Moniz led the way in the Men’s 100 Metre Backstroke, recording a winning time of 1 minute 19.45 seconds to finish ahead of Zachary Johnson. In the women’s 100 Metre final, Isla Cooze demonstrated excellent underwater phases and rhythm to take first place in 1 minute 22.53 seconds. Emilia Dunkerley secured the runner-up spot, while Ellis Champion completed the podium in what was a productive outing for the island's leading long-course specialists.
