adminThe event will take place at the City Pool and the weekly competitions are meant to keep the swimmers in top shape.
“Bulawayo has good swimmers and we keep them conditioned by having these highly competitive galas which keep the swimmers in top shape for big competitions,” said Eddie Cyprianos, the MASB chairman yesterday.
In the opening gala last week, last season’s top swimmers shone and the rivalry between the Under-12 girls Maryke Koen and Jessica McAllister continued with Koen winning the 50m butterfly stroke in 37.67 seconds while McAllister clocked 42.03 seconds to finish second.
Avalon Bruce continued her good form in the girls’ Under-15 50m butterfly stroke winning in 34.79 seconds while she came second in the girls’ Under-16 100m breaststroke in 1 minute 35.26 seconds behind Estelle Stambolie who clocked 1 minute 33.35 seconds.
Dale Bruce also continued his dominance in the boys’ Under-12 50m butterfly stroke winning in 37.72 seconds, in the 100m breaststroke clocking 1 minute 34.99 seconds ahead of Jaryd Lezar and Grant Smith.
The Cyprianos brothers also started well with Denilson Cyprianos winning the Under-10 50m butterfly stroke in 43.47 seconds, Brendon Cyprianos winning the Under-14 50m backstroke in 36.39 seconds ahead of Ross Oatley who clocked 40.38 seconds and Andresious Cyprianos won the Under-16 50m backstroke in 32 seconds beating Ashby Tink who finished in 32.84 seconds.
