It is not often that there is a chance to see truly world class swimming – swimming where a masters world record is absolutely shattered.
That is what masters swimmers witnessed at an evening club meet on 3 March at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre.
The Powerpoints Masters Swimming Club held their “Summer Smash 2023” meet where a powerful relay team from their club attacked the 4 x 200m mixed, freestyle world record.
At the halfway mark, the “red line” would have been nearly 60m behind the Powerpoints team. For more, here is the mywaterworld.life write-up of the attack on that World Aquatics record.
The Australian section of our news will be updated with this story later today.
mywaterworld.life will also bring you some vision of the 200m world record broken by Kaylee McKeown in the Women’s 200m Backstroke in a time of 2:03.14 – this record was set at the NSW Open Swimming Championships conducted at the Sydney Olympic Park Pool on Friday, 10 March 2023
