Great swims of 2022 by Amanda Duggan and Maciej Slugocki

The latest news from mywaterworld.life takes a look at the best swimming performances of 2022 by masters swimmers in Tasmania.

The dominant swimmers of 2022, based on World Aquatics Points (not sure what “FINA” points are now called) were Amanda Duggan and Maciej Slugocki. Their 800 and 1500 metre freestyle times would have placed them both well within world top ten rankings in 2021 and Maciej’s 800m freestyle time would have scored him a number two in the world that year. The 2022 world ranking will be out in March.

You can read all about those swims and more in the mywaterworld.life news of 29 January. The story is also on the Masters inTasmania – Latest News page where you can find previous news items.
