Leah Schlosshan<\/strong> and Shanahan in 27.59 and although the latter made inroads in the backstroke as expected, Wood still led by 0.35 at halfway. She extended that to 1.35 on the breaststroke leg before coming home in 2:08.85 to take 0.06 from her previous best of 2:08.91 at last year’s Olympic trials in the same pool. Shanahan was second in 2:09.88 with Schlosshan – who’ll make the trip to Singapore with the 4×2 quartet – third in 2:13.14.<\/p>\nWood said:\u00a0“I think I’m just at that point of my career where I’m really enjoying my swimming again and it’s really reflecting in the pool. It’s not a chore to go to training every day, I’m really enjoying it. I think it just shows when I race. It’s relaxed, there’s no pressure on me anymore because anything I do now is a bonus. So I can’t complain with a few PBs!”<\/p>\n
It’s the second straight year the trials have been held at the London Aquatic Centre which hosted the pool programme at the 2012 Olympics and Wood believes it has had an energising effect.\u00a0“Aquatics GB’s investment into the trials, it’s such a good production, it does mirror a World Championships with screens and cameras following you up and down, it’s amazing practice. I used to struggle getting myself up for trials but this environment at an Olympic pool, it’s hard not to get excited.”<\/p>\n

Para Swimming<\/h3>\n
The multi-classification women’s 200IM was a tight affair, with big points scores coming from all over the pool.<\/p>\n
Faye Rogers<\/strong> and Bethany Firth<\/strong> were engaged in an intriguing battle at the front of the field, S14 competitor Firth ultimately touching first on 889 points, thanks in the main to her outstanding backstroke leg. Rogers came in just behind in a new S10 British record of 2:28.97, but scoring more points on 919 to briefly sit in the gold-medal position – only for S8 athlete Brock Whiston<\/strong> in lane one to power home for an overall tally of 921 and take the title.<\/p>\nParalympic champion Whiston was quick to pay tribute to the importance of the team around her, just as she did in praising her fellow medallists,\u00a0“Without a team, we’re not athletes. People don’t realise the amount of work that goes on behind us, and I always say for me if it wasn’t for the team that worked with me, I wouldn’t even be getting on that block to race,” she said.\u00a0“I need a massive team even to get me on the block so I don’t think people realise, it’s an individual sport but it’s not because everyone works so hard to get us here.”<\/p>\n
University of Aberdeen Performance Swim Team star Rogers had already been in finals action before that medley showpiece, as she ensured her name would get another addition on the new London Aquatics Centre honours board with a European record swim to take the multi-classification 100m butterfly.<\/p>\n
A Paralympic champion over this distance, Faye was in supreme form, her high stroke rate seeing her drop a 1:04.17 to reset her best from the morning’s heats and record a points tally of 1062. Behind her, S14 duo Olivia Newman-Baronius<\/strong> and Poppy Maskill<\/strong> also swam great races to take silver and bronze on 966 and 952 points respectively, with the former going inside the Singapore qualification standard, and Maskill hitting it exactly.<\/p>\nReflecting on her day as a whole, Rogers said: “I’m absolutely exhausted but it\u2019s been one of the best meets ever and I keep surprising myself, I\u2019m not expecting the times I\u2019m swimming! That race was a swim on adrenaline, in the call room I was bouncing around and didn\u2019t sit down once because if I did I would crash. I\u2019m loving racing at the moment, and I think it\u2019s showing when I\u2019m racing. To be on the podium with Bethany and Brock is incredible. I admire Bethany so much and I was really trying to catch her.”<\/p>\n
