2018 Club Championships Role of Honour / Records
What a great weekend of swimming in this season’s Club Championships. The third oldest championship record broken by Erin H by 1/100th of a second (Clare Crewdson’s 1983 100m Butterfly) amongst 20 other new records set. Asking around after the event, there was nobody to recall 21 records going in a single Championships. Nearly every swimmer set at least 1 PB during the event, near enough 70% of swims being new best times.
