Swimming: Seventh SSA series |25 March 2017

Five records tumbled

The seventh Seychelles Swimming Association-sponsored swim series took place earlier this month, where despite a low turnout, there were some good times registered, which included five new series records.

The first record was broken by Kian Rosalie in the male 9 years and under 800m freestyle race, in which he improved his own previous time of 14 minutes 27.88 seconds, (14:27.88) to set a new record time of 13:50.80. In fact, Rosalie was the only one racing in this event.

Tejasvi Kerai also improved her own record, finishing the female 10-11 years 800m freestyle race with a record time of 12:55.07, compared to her previous time of 13:26.47.

The 800m races proved to be full of record-breaking performances and the third record was achieved by Kyle Fred in the male 10-11 years old category and he improved his old time of 12:16.14 with a faster time of 12:11.81.

With a time of 12:04.03, Aisha Khan was also among the record breakers, improving her own time of 12:18.06 set in 2016 in the 12-13 years old 800m freestyle event. Her new record time now stands at 12:04.03.

Lastly, it was Simon Bachmann, who in the final event of the day ‒ the 14 years and over 800m freestyle ‒ managed a new record time of 9:04.62 to improve his own previous best time of 9:35.78.
