Nathan - 4th 50m Freestyle
Nathan, Benz, Yong Jun, Kevin - 4th Medley relay.

POOL A

On Thursday our 5 fastest swimmers travelled to ISHCMC. Unfortunately after just 5 races the rain, lightning and thunder came down strong. As it was an outdoor pool, for safety reasons the swim meet was postponed. This will be rescheduled for after Easter.

A massive well done to all TX swimmers. Have a great holiday. Remember, practice starts again on Monday May 8th.
