Champion Paralympic swimmer Sophie Pascoe<\/strong><\/a> has set the national short course championships alight by smashing two Para swimming world short course records on the opening day of competition.<\/p>\n

Day one action was highlighted by Pascoe (QEII Swim Club) breaking the women\u2019s 200m S10 short course world record by almost four seconds in a new personal best time of 2:06.58.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 200 free was not just a great race because of the PB and world record but also how I executed the race plan. Being a sprinter, I do tend to go out a little fast but I really backed up my last 100\u201d, says Pascoe.<\/p>\n

Pascoe then followed it up by breaking her own 50m butterfly S10 world short course record, which she\u2019d set earlier on the day, in a time of 28.42.<\/p>\n
