South Mainland ASC was represented at the North District Age Group championships by brothers Donnie and Eddie Price. Donnie, 13, swam 11 events in the 13/14 age group, and successfully broke pb times for every event. His weekend started off with a super 6 second improvement in his 200m butterfly with a 2.44.00. In his next race, the 100m freestyle, he crept nearer to breaking the 1 minute mark with a 1.00.79.
After another pb in the 200m IM, Donnie then produced an excellent 4.33.58 for the 400m freestyle and sixth place, the fastest of the 13 year old boys. The afternoon’s results were a satisfying 1.10.12 for his 100m butterfly followed shortly later with a 2.56.88 for the 200m breaststroke. In the last session of the day, Donnie had a terrific swim in the 1500m freestyle. Aiming to break 18 minutes he smashed 24 seconds off his entry time for a 17.43.12, which earned him the silver medal.
Sunday’s events started with a 2.10.63 for the 200m freestyle. Then in the 800m freestyle he swam very well to finish in 9.23.77, only missing out on third place by a mere 0.19 seconds. Donnie’s last session produced a pb in the 100m breaststroke and a chunky 7 seconds improvement in his time for the 400m IM.
Eddie, 11, swam 3 events in the 10-12 year age group. His competition got off to a great start by taking 3 seconds off his 100m freestyle time with a 1.08.97, and gained him a place in the final, where he moved up one place to finish 7th. Eddie was also 7th in the 200m freestyle where he swam 7 seconds faster than his entry time for a new pb of 2.27.51. In the 200 breaststroke Eddie had another tremendous swim with a 3.18.13 finishing in 5th place.
