Carnegie swimmer Ollie Carter had a record-breaking weekend at the 2017 British Para Swimming International Meet. Swimming at Ponds Forge in Sheffield, Carter broke his own Scottish record in the men’s S10 100 freestyle.
Carter had previously broken the Scottish record at the Scottish Senior Championships where he had picked up five total titles. His national record time in the S10 100 freestyle was 59.75 at that meet, which he bettered in Sheffield with a 59.13. Carter was the first Scottish swimmer to break 1:00 in that event for his class.
The 17-year old is now set to compete at the World Para Swimming World Series in June, which will be held in the United States in Indianapolis, as he continues to work towards a potential Paralympics birth in 2020. You can read more about Ollie Carter’s meet here.
