The night concluded with the boy’s Captain, Taylor Coe, leading the team of Emily Pickard, Igor Mordeja, Simran Misir, Woody South, Dayna Shepperson, Aaron Pickard and Mille Clark to 1st place in the 8 x 25m Squadron Relay.
Coach Richard Walker said that the “team was fantastic tonight. We looked faster and shaper than what we did in the first round and that is a testament to the way the swimmers are training. They have a good team spirt and I firmly believe that we can be stronger and faster still in the final round. We will look forward to it and I am sure we will compete with whoever we are swimming against”.
