ASA Senior Nationals - Day 1 - Heats

5 swims from DX in the heats on the opening day of the Championships.

Sarah Vasey recorded a new personal best time of 33.96 in the 50m Breaststroke. This was a great performance and as the youngest competitior in this event came 15th and should be a great confidence boost leading into the National Youth's next month.

Chris Steeples showed his class in the 100m Breaststroke with a huge seasons best time of 1:02.93, just 0.05 off his PB. Qualifying in 5th place for the final, the DX mens captain will be looking to set a new lifetime best and possibly move up a place or two tonight. This was a well deserved return to form over 100m after the dissapointment of British Champs in March where Chris failed to make the Semi-Finals after badly misjudging his pace.

There will also be 2 DX swimmers in the final of the Mens 50m Backstroke after PB's from James and Zichen (26.8 and 26.9) booked their lanes for tonight. Kane also raced the 50m Back in a time of 27.96 which was just outside his PB.

All together - a fantastic start to meet.
