These conditions obviously made a fast pool with five records tumbling.

Rebecca Hodgson broke two of Talissa Alford’s records in the 50 metres breastroke and the 50 metres butterfly, swimming an amazing 32.74 in the Fly which many freestyle swimmers would like to swim.

The other three records went to Patrick Carey in the 50 metres butterfly, Jesse Case in the 50 metres breaststroke and Niam Noble also in the 50 metres breaststroke .
