Claudia, Tom and Lachlan make waves at Fairymead Short Course

 

 

Three of our members made the track up to Bundaberg to compete in the annual Fairymead Short Course meet.
Swimmer of the meet has to go to one of our youngest team members, Tom Neill, who broke 6 meet records, which also gave him 6 PBs including the 100IM where he broke the record by nearly 8 seconds and the 50m Free at 34.80 lowering the old mark by 1.7 seconds. It was Tom's first competition as an 8 year old.
Tom's sister, Claudia, competed in 6 events in a strong age group for 2 bronze medals in the 50m Breast and 100IM, plus recording 2 PBs.
Lachlan Neill, unable to compete for the most of the meet due to illness made a gallant effort to compete in the last two events and received a gold and silver medal for the 100m Free and 50m Free respectively for his troubles.
All in all, a successful weekend for our Commercial swimmers. Well done!
