Can someone please tell me where our team was???? I did not even see them anywhere near the pool to compete??? What is going on???
 
There was no 4x100 team but think we have a team for the 4x200
 
We have a really bad year for 100m freestyle, which is weird, because traditionally its a event that we are really strong in.

If you look at 100m times, you have to be able to break 48sec to be competitive, and its quite sad that we didnt even have 1 swimmer that could break 49sec at our nationals.

Even more worrying, this will have quite a bad impact on our 4x100m medley relay, as we have a great contenders in the Back (Chris Reid), Breast (Cam), Fly (Chad), but no one to swim the free?
 
chad le clos can swim the free. i am witness to that he is a fish in the pool at that stroke. he was at school with my daughters and we used to watch him when the school had their galas. he should swim the free as well.
 
Celine, we have a 4 x 200m freestyle relay team...on at 7.17PM

2.17pm (7.17pm): Men’s 4x200m Freestyle (Heat 1)

Dougie came the closest at 49.5 with Calvin at 49.8. Unfortunately Clayton Jimmy (top seed at 49.2) didn't live up to expectations. Scary when you see the young ones like Chalmers and Dressel dropping 47s and 48s at will :( As for Chad to swim the free, we have even less people to then swim the fly. Bosch would be closest, but still 2 secs slower than Chad
