Sprinters storm to records

THIRTEEN gala records were broken at the Specsavers 50m Sprint Gala staged by the Guernsey Amateur Swimming Association.

The event, which is particularly suited to sprinters, saw swimmers from both the Guernsey Swimming Club and the Beau Sejour Barracudas enjoy an afternoon of fast and furious swimming over a distance of 50 metres in the four swimming disciplines - freestyle, backstoke, breaststroke and butterfly - with swimmers accumulating points to determine the winners.

Tom Hollingsworth and Kristina Neves stormed to victory in all four events in new gala record times in their respective age groups.
