It was a sunny morning down on pool deck last Saturday and it was time for the final of the Geoff Roper 200m Freestyle Handicap race.
With an 86 second handicap between lanes 1 and 2 and even more for the other 4 swimmers, it was going to be a tough ask to win from a lane other than 1. Once all swimmers finally entered the water, it was clear it was going to be a close race. Swimmers gave it all they got with all of them swimming the last lap together. Swimmers crept up and it was eventually Samuel Eastwood in lane 1 who took out the trophy! Congratulations Samuel!
It was a fantastic effort from all the finalists and a special shout out goes to Andrew Sharpe who with a 133 second handicap from lane 6, made up massive ground and delivered an incredible swim. Never has it been so close from the most handicapped swimmer!
Congratulations all swimmers!
