To those that have set or broken any swimming records, which are they? :banana:
Anything from a school, local, club or meet record on up to world qualifies. :cheerleader: :worms:
Feel free to include any story leading up to how and when you broke the record.
Did you see this record effort?:applaud:
Laura Val breaks all intermediate freestyle world records on her way to crush the 1500 world record.
In her first race after aging up to the 60-64 age group, Laura Val broke all the freestyle records at The Olympic Club 1500. Starting out with a 29.89 in the 50M Free (STEVENSON Lynette 30:70; Charlotte David 30.01)she continued on with a 1:05.16 in the 100 (DE VIVANCO Maria Del Rosario1:07.22; Charlotte Davis 1:06.58) ; a 2:24.19 for the 200*(Conny Boer-Buys 2:31.69); a 5:02.65 for the 400M(Barbara Dunbar 5:22.47); a 10:21.68 for the 800(Barbara Dunbar 10:58.58)and 19:38.63 for the 1500 (Barbara Dunbar 20:46.82). (The two by Charlotte Davis were interim records and not off the official FINA site, which publishes Masters World Records in May and November).This was truly a magnificant swim.
Laura,
You and Rich Burns talked about this goal in Long Beach, but I thought after Charlotte Davis' great 50 and 100 swims it would be really tough. But you did it. Amazing. IMO, the best individual effort ever in Masters Swimming.
Congratulations,
Rich
