North District Sprint Championships, Inverness - 3rd October 2009

Three swimmers from South Mainland Amateur Swimming Club qualified for the North District Sprint Championships.

Competing in all four events in the 10-12 year age group, 12 year old Darin Eldridge had a very good day which started with a PB of 32.55 in the 50m freestyle. He swam well in his second race of the morning, the 50m butterfly, and returned after lunch to PB his 50m breaststroke with a time of 42.42 which earned him a place in the final as eighth fastest qualifier. Before the final, he swam the 50m backstroke and touched on his PB. To finish off his day, Darin had a super swim in the breaststroke final and produced another PB of 42.01 to finish in 7th place.

In the 13-14 year age group, Sarah Keay swam the same events as Darin and like him broke PBs for two of her strokes and was on her PBs for the other two. She improved her freestyle to finish in 31.31, and shaved a fraction off her breaststroke time for a 40.03 which resulted in 11th place - her highest place of the day.

Donnie Price, 13, swam in this age group, and also had qualified for the open 100m Individual Medley. He successfully managed to produce PBs in all 5 events. His biggest improvement was a 2sec PB time of 37.81 for 50m breaststroke and his highest place for the day was 10th in butterfly with a 32.22.

South Mainland ASC would like to thank Mainlands, Northlink and Freefield Pharmacy for their support.
