successful weekend for InCAS – young and old! New Scottish Records for Master swimmers InCAS swimmers were hugely successful this weekend at 3 different events. Three INCAS Masters swimmers competed in the Scottish Open Masters Championships at the Tollcross International Pool in Glasgow on Friday/Saturday 25th/26th April. What a haul of medals - 6 Gold, 3 Silver, 1 Bronze and two Scottish Records. Craig Holmes was outstanding winning 4 Golds, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze with two new Scottish Records. Craig’s Golds came in the 50m Butterfly in a new Scottish Record of 26.56 and 100m Butterfly in 1.00.33 - again a new Scottish Record. The 50m Backstroke gave Craig his 3rd Gold in 28.97 just outside the record and finally his 4th Gold in the 100m Backstroke in 1.02.10. His Silver came in the 200m Backstroke and his Bronze in the 50m Freestyle. In the older category Royal Navy sailor Paul Woodland, competing in his first competition for four years, swam a brilliant 100m Breastroke to knock 14 seconds from his previous lifetime best to win Silver. Ever-young 50 year old Andrea Gellan also swam superbly winning two Golds in the 200m Freestyle in 2.51.37 and 800m Freestyle in 12.24.92. She also won Silver in the 100m Freestyle. Altogether an outstanding weekend for these INCAS Masters. At the other end of the club, 4 young swimmers aged 8 and 9 travelled to Larkhall to compete in the Falkirk Otters meet. They had 14 swims between them and landed 1 Gold, 4 Silvers, and 3 sixth place finished. Eight year old Lauren Pirouet won Gold in the 50m Backstroke; Silver in the 50 m Freestyle; and was sixth in the 50m Butterfly.
