2 Dec 2006 - British Short Course Championships


I won the 200m, third in the 100m and joined the teams for the 4x50 and 4x100 relays where new British Records were acheived in both.
I found the pool quite difficult to swim in being quite shallow at one end (0,8m) and impossible to do the type of turns I had learned in Russia. I must have grounded nearly every time on the turn.
Pleased with the 200m time of 2:02.

Simon, congratulations on the victory. I wish we could find some 25 meter pools to swim in. We do most of our meets in a 25 yard pool. Do you know where I can find the results from the meet. I would love to post them so our finswimmers can see how their fellow finswimmers from England are doing.

A shallow pool can be a problem. The shallow end of our pool is 3 1/2 feet deep. It can play hell with a good wide monofin and a strong finswimmer.

Keep me posted as to your training and comeptition.
