Shortly thereafter, Andrew Smilley and Jonathan Key made quick work of the 800m course, finishing 1st and 2nd respectively. Both crossed the line well clear of competitors in just over 10 minutes.

Across the Atlantic, Geoffrey Butler put in an impressive performance competing Long Course in Sheffield, UK. Butler swam to personal bests in the 1500 free (16:12 ) which lowered his qualifying time for Commonwealth Games, in the 400 IM (4:44) and the 200 Free (1:58). Geoffrey also swam to a new best and a second Commonwealth qualifying time in the 400 freestyle in a time of 4:06.
