Week 13: 50 M Backstroke Championship and 400 M Medley
Well it was a lovely start to the 2023 calendar year last Saturday. Congratulations to Phil Hayward for fending off the kids to take out the George Russell 400M Handicap final. It’s good to see an adult keeping up on the handicap times, especially when the kids improve so rapidly from week to week.
This week things start to get a little bit tougher:
Our first race is the 50M Backstroke Championship. The fastest back strokers across all ages will go into the Open final and battle it out for the Championship title.
This will be followed by the 50M Freestyle handicap events.
As usual there will be 30M and 20M versions of both events for the young ones that prefer a shorted distance.
These shorter events will be followed by one of the great races the 400M Individual Medley. Good luck to all the swimmers who take this on!
There will also be shorted medley events.
