Farnworth swim 800m time trial 18th March

The time trial was an 800m swim and the goal for swimmers is 2017 is to get as close as possible to or lower than their previous time for broken 800m time trials done at the end of 2016. The final column compares the 800m swim time to the broken 800m time. A minus means the swimmer actually went quicker than their time for the broken 800 which was 200/400/200 with 30 second rest intervals. So well done Sam, Kath and Dave who went faster and Aiden who got very close. Next time trail in May.
