Day 2

A big day for Day 2 - 8am start and 7pm finish with a whole lot of swimming in between. 23 new personal best times today and 2 medals.

Ian Wilson was first up in the 400m Individual Medley and finished with a new PB, under 6 minutes for the first time, touching in 5:59.62.

The 50m Butterfly was next up with Alison Sakurovs, Peter Johnston and Kylee Murray all swimming new PBs, while in the 50m Backstroke, Lauren Leckie, Shelley Zerni, Kylee, Melissa Cohen, Tricia Johnston and Ian Johnston all swam new PBs.

Twelve of our team were in action in the 200m Freestyle. The standard was set early as Lauren swam a new PB and finished with a Bronze Medal. Shelley swam a very quick new PB of 2:33.64 to put the pressure on her training partners who were to follow. Alison was up next and up to the challenge as she posted a new PB of 2:28.79. A few heats later, the pressure was well and truly on Peter and Ian Wilson to perform as they went head to head, not only racing each other, but also the times set by the girls in the earlier heats. They both delivered with new PBs, with Peter just beating Ian to the wall with times of 2:23.32 and 2:25.43 respectively.
Melissa, Craig Leckie and Tricia also swam new PBs in the 200m Freestyle.

The last individual event of the day, the 100m Breaststroke, saw Steven take home another Silver in another PB of 1:15.17, while Lauren, Alison, Melissa and Ian Johnston all swam new PBs.

Two days down - 2 to go!
