Just been competing in the Tigers, Jersey Open, very pleased with my results this early on in the season.
4 personal best times and very close to others plus 5 Island records, 3 of them were already mine, the other two were 50 back which was held by Gail Strobridge and the 200 back was previously held by Lotte Parfit. I was really pleased with these two events seeing as backstroke is one of my least favourites, but after some coaching from Cate Jackson I have improved, so I must drop her an email to say thanks for her help!
Also a lot of my times were inside National times, so that was good.
Now I’m the holder of 12 out of 18 Island records for short course.
At the very end we had the fun events called “Skins” starts with 8 swimmers and then it’s process of elimination until you have 2 remaining for which I won this!! Very fast and furious.
