This week we get back in to the swing of championship races with the 50M Backstroke race.
We’ve also got one of the toughest races on the calendar the 400M Individual Medley handicap event.
Some 10+ years ago we used to swim 400M Individual Medley championship races. Unsurprisingly, the number of participants in those races was not huge so the championship event was dropped from the calendar – leaving just the handicap event.
We do however still have club records for the 400M Medley and occasionally a brave soul or two decide they want to have a crack at the record for their age group. If you want to have a go at a 400M Medley record this weekend please contact Duncan ahead of Saturday via racesecretary@drummoyneswimclub.com.au.
