Day 5 was amazing as we had our first British Champion in Sam Budd over the 800 Freestyle in a super time of 7:59.72. Sam took the lead right from the start and never let go and with some excellent turns Sam put himself in a great position. On the final 50 he had to get back in 29 sec to go under the magical 8 min barrier and he did just that. Huge congratulations to Sam, what an awesome swim.

Kate Clifton started the final session on day 3 with a new personal best in the Open 50 freestyle final, in 25.75. Kate came a brilliant forth in that final, really showing her raw speed superb straight arm technique.
