My official swimming records

Last update on February 2006 by Edward

On 17th December 2004, Annie Smits organized a swimming competition at Thermae Son for children and grown-ups who take part in one of her "trimzwemmen" classes. I took part for the first time, entering three individual events and the relay. I set a new personal best on each of the individual events, knocking off 20 seconds on some of them!

My results:

50m crawl:1.10.58(2nd place)
50m breaststroke:1.20.43(2nd place)
25m butterfly:0.39.59(4th place)
4x50m relay:3.15.58(4th place in heat, 7th place overall)
The relay team was: Edward van Lieshout, Anita Ophei, Robert van Lieshout and Jan Peters.

On 9th March 2005, the "trimzwemmen" group did a Coopertest: swim as far as you can in 12 minutes. You are only allowed to use frontcrawl (borstcrawl in Dutch).
I managed to swim 380 metres, just over 15 lanes in the 25 metre pool in Son.

In January 2006, the "trimzwemmen" group did a race over 1 kilometer. I was the fastest of my group, swimming 40 lanes in 25 minutes and 46 seconds. I managed to do most of it using frontcrawl, only about 3 lanes as breaststroke (schoolslag in Dutch).
