“…Well done to Andy on this brilliant achievement.
It’s even more remarkable when you consider the previous record stood for 23 years. Ironically it was held by an ex-Aer Lingus swimmer, Ken Turner. Andy set the new time by swimming the race in a negative split (the second 400m was faster than the first 400m). Andy’s time was an impressive 8 mins plus he broke the record during an early-morning event, never an easy thing to do.
Well done to all our swimmers who took part in the last short course meet of the season, roll-on the long course season!…”

Brilliant swim Andy… Your dedication and focus on your training sets an example to what can be achieved…Well.done mate ! (perhaps you should give a presentation to Leeds United…they’d be winning their division by now with you at the helm !!!)
