Proud set down a marker in the 50 free of 22.15 on his return to competitive waters with clear daylight between him and Matt Richards<\/strong> who clocked 22.81 for second.<\/p>\n

Renshaw was a clear winner of the 200br in 2:22.78 which was 0.70secs outside the time she went in the same pool four weeks ago.<\/p>\n

The three-time Commonwealth medallist matched Jocelyn Ullyett’<\/strong>s British record of 2:22.08 on that occasion.<\/p>\n

Renshaw, who is coached by Dave Hemmings<\/strong> at the National Centre Loughborough<\/strong>, was 0.50secs outside that time at halfway and although she reduced it by a further 0.04 at the final turn, there was too much to make up on the back 50.<\/p>\n

Ulyett was second in 2:26.19.<\/p>\n

Guy led from start to finish to go 51.71 in the 100 fly, splitting 24.19\/27.52 for victory ahead of Jacob Peters<\/strong> (52.73) and Joe Litchfield<\/strong> who set a PB of 52.86.<\/p>\n

Duncan Scott<\/strong> was fifth in 53.58 on his return to competition.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve been doing time trials at Stirling and I\u2019ve been swimming well, so I was quite confident in myself that I could replicate those swims at an official meet – it\u2019s great to actually do it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
