During the second swimming time trails organised by the ASA Swimming Board at the National Pool Tal-Qroqq on Saturday, three age group records were registered by Neptunes swimmers in the A Category for 10 and 11 year old swimmers.

Philip Baldacchino swam the 50m breast in 41.09 to erase his own previous record of 41.17 and Neil Muscat established a new record of 34.40 in the 50m butterfly thus improving on his own previous time of 35.46.

Laura Demicoli registered her first age-group record when she had an excellent performance when she swam the 50m butterfly in 38.20 and thus erased the 20 year old record held by Gail Rizzo of 39.31 since 1989.

Next time trial planned for the 21 November 2009 will be last time trial for 2009 as plans are in hand to close the pool immediately afterwards.
