The boys 13-14 relay team (Nelson, Ronald Cowen, Matthew Hammond and Stephen Troake) also made it through to the final of the 4x100m freestyle.

Earlier this week, Hammond and Troake clocked PBs in the finals of the 200m backstroke.

In the 18-21 200m breaststroke Craig Roberts recorded 2:40.10.

And in the the final event on Tuesday evening, the 13-14 400m medley relay team of Hammond (back), Nelson (breast), Cowen (fly) and Troake (free) performed superbly as they lowered the national record set in Jamaica last year by a whopping six seconds.
