This year saw the first ASA National Winter Championships since 1999, the flagship event of the year to end the new designated short course season and, in a striking demonstration of the quality of the meet, an array of British Records were felled one after another. Long standing as well as newer records were broken. Plymouth Leander’s Ben Proud took the 50m Freestyle record held by Mark Foster since 2001 in a time of 20.74 and became the first British swimmer to go sub 22 seconds while 16 year old Imogen Clark (Derventio) swam 50m Breaststroke in 30.02 to claim the record held by BCS coach Zoe Baker since 2001. In a fast pool and with an electric atmosphere, how would Dorset’s qualifiers shape up to the competition?

At the end of the four days of competition, Dorset’s swimmers did not disappoint – the results were spectacular. The Dorset tally included two impressive new Junior British Records for 100m Butterfly and 50m Butterfly (producing new English, ASA SouthWest and DCASA records too) as well as five Junior Gold medals from Poole’s Jacob Peters, together with two new DCASA Senior Records and a further nine DCASA Junior Records broken by Poole swimmers Jacob Peters, Harriet Perfect and Jasmine McCrea.
