Ollie Davis-Tootill was again in record-breaking form at last weekend’s regional championships.

On Sunday, he broke the junior boys 100m freestyle record with a time of 56.14s and this beat the record of 56.26s previously held by Harri Thorman since 2018. Not only that, but he went even faster in the final so the record now stands at 55.84s.

Also on Sunday, he went on to break the record for the 50m backstroke with a time of 28.63s. This adds to the 100m backstroke record he already holds and the 50m record had been held by Robert Pearson since 2013.

Finishing the weekend on Bank Holiday Monday, he bettered a record in the 50m freestyle too beating Matthew Sotheran’s 2011 record of 25.91s with a time of 25.69s.

Ollie now holds four junior records!

Oliver Davis-Tootill and Mollie Fisher were yet again breaking records at the Leeds National Qualifier Meet last weekend.

On Saturday, Ollie again broke his 100m backstroke record which he had only set earlier this month. In the event held at the John Charles Centre, he achived a time of 1:02.21.

On Sunday, Mollie bettered her own time in the 400m freestyle with a time of 4:29.29 beating a time she had only set the previous week at the British Swimming Championships.

Well done to both swimmers!

Last week’s British Swimming Championships at Ponds Forge last week saw more records broken by our club captains.

Luke Booth started the week breaking his own 400m freestyle record with a time of 4:04.94. He followed this up by again breaking his own record in the 800m freestyle with a time of 8:30.22.

On the same day, Mollie Fisher broke her own club record in the 400m freestyle with a time of 4:30.33.

Well done to both swimmers!

Oliver Davis-Tootill excelled again at the second Derventio open meet of the year by again breaking his own club record for the 100m backstroke in the Boys Under 15 Long Course category with a time of 1:02.44. Well done to Ollie and I’m sure we’ll see more records broken before his birthday in July.

Male Club Captain Luke Booth again breaks his own long course record for the 800m freestyle.

His previous time was 8:37.30 and he finished his most recent swim at the Yorkshire Championships in Sheffield in a time of 8:34.21, picking up the gold medal along the way.

Well done Luke.

Oliver (Ollie) Davis-Tootill pulled out a fantastic swim in the 100m backstroke at the Yorkshire Championships last weekend with a time of 1:03.07. Not only did this beat his previous PB set just last month by 3 seconds, it also broke a club record that has stood for almost 10 years. This junior boys record was previously held by Robert Pearson with a time of 1:03.31 set in May 2013.

Many congratulations to Ollie for achieving his first club record – let’s hope it’s the first of many.
