Saturday saw Sophia swam with heart, determination and tenacity, and all of her hard training paid off, in what was a monster programme of events at SENW Summer Regionals.

First up was a 6.5 second PB in the 400 Free for th place with a pretty much perfectly executed race plan.

Next, Sophia swam an outstanding 2 second PB to qualify 7th for the final in the 100 Free. She managed to improve on this time further to take th in a nail biting final.

In the heat of the 50 Free, Sophia shaved almost a second off her PB to make the final, coming th hitting a similar time to the heat at the end of a long day.

Last event before the finals saw Sophia swim a brave and perfectly paced 800 Free finishing in th with another 5 seconds knocked off her PB, again getting her pacing spot on and executing an excellent race.

Well done Sophia, the coaches were delighted to be able to make this a “two duck” achievement… which is unprecedented
