The Stockport Metro Open meet last weekend was the last opportunity for our swimmers to shine before next month’s Winter Nationals and our Club Captains were again in record-breaking form.

Luke Booth started the weekend with a time of 8:11.86 in the 800m Freestyle breaking George Russell’s short course record from November 2015.  Luke then showed his mettle in the 400m IM with a time of 4:32.85 breaking a record that had been held by Joe Roebuck for 22 years.  He finished the weekend breaking Dale Waterhouse’s record from November 2009 with a time of 1:53.02 in the 200m freestyle, obtaining another National qualification in the process.

Mollie Fisher added to the record tally breaking two of her own records.  She knocked a huge 36 seconds from the 1500m freestyle time she had previously set in January this year with a time of 17:14.61.  She also broke the 200m freestyle record that she had held for three years with an improved time of 2:05.70.

Well done again to both our captains!
