LEAMINGTON, England, May 18. BRITISH Masters swimmers were in record-breaking form at Leamington Spa as they limbered up for the World Masters Championships. <\/p>\n
The Midland District meet, which ran from Friday to Sunday, May 14-16, is traditionally one of the premier early season short course (25 metres) British meets. This was also the last chance for most of the swimmers for a competitive workout prior to the World Championships.<\/p>\n
Outstanding was the newly aged-up Judy Wilson, who set records in all of her seven individual swims, including three world record times, in the 60-64 group: the 50m (34.45) and 100m (1.16.41) butterfly, and 100m freestyle (1.10.53). She was joined in the 100m freestyle by the evergreen Jane Asher, whose 1.16.45 was a WR in the 70-74 group.<\/p>\n
European records were claimed in the ladies' events by Jayne Ball (50-54 400 freestyle in 5.17.34) and Wilson in the 200 free (2.38.37), 400 free (5.50.14), and 200 fly (3.09.88), and in the men\u2019s events by Alan Jackson (65-69 200 back in 2.54.20) and Nick Gillingham (35-39 200 breaststroke 2.19.83).<\/p>\n
In addition 14 individual British records were set, along with three relay records.<\/p>\n
