Loads of fast swimming – including two new meet records Sebastian Rousseau 400 IM 4:11.11 and Tom Shields 100 Fly 51:65. There’s a good vibe at the Woollett Aquatic Center in Irvine as everyone settles into the pace of the meet. The meet has a nice SoCal feel with lot’s of anticipation for the final two day.
