HKFC SWIMMERS<br />
SET NEW RECORDS<br />
WITH PODIUM FINISHES AT HKGSA 2022/<strong>2023</strong><br />
S<br />
unday 26th March marked the last<br />
of the HKGSA 2022/<strong>2023</strong> season<br />
with a long course meet at Sun<br />
Yat Sen Memorial Park Swimming Pool.<br />
There was a good showing by the HKFC<br />
swimmers with lots of exciting racing<br />
and podium placings.<br />
Alex Fong kicked things off by winning<br />
the 200m breaststroke and smashing the<br />
existing age group record in the process.<br />
Next up was the 50m freestyle where<br />
Craig Nortje was just able to sneak in<br />
under the age group record for the win.<br />
Edmund Wan was narrowly out touched<br />
and finished second in his age group.<br />
Braedon Sharp and Craig Nortje both took<br />
on the 100m butterfly and finished second<br />
and first in their respective age groups.<br />
home to first place in his age group.<br />
Simon Holiday and Simon Brewster<br />
took fifth and six place in their age<br />
group and Patrick Ip placing second in<br />
his age group.<br />
Congratulations to all the swimmers!<br />
Looking forward to more good result at<br />
the first meet of the <strong>2023</strong>/2024 season<br />
on 30th April.<br />
The last event of the morning session<br />
was the 50m backstroke where Braedon<br />
Sharp finished second, Craig Nortje first,<br />
Edmund Wan forth and Patrick Ip was<br />
pipped into second in their age groups.<br />
Looks like Coach Dom needs to work us<br />
harder on our finishes?<br />
The 800m freestyle was in the afternoon<br />
session. This is a tough race not only<br />
for the distance but also with a very<br />
long waiting time before you swim.<br />
Swimmers start in the water, taking<br />
away the advantage of a dive, and<br />
swim two competitors per lane giving<br />
you something extra to think about<br />
while racing. Braedon Sharp stormed<br />
