Mark Wandera was also at his best, winning 3 gold in the 200m breast stroke, 100m individual medley, 100m backstroke   and a bronze in 50m freestyle in the boys 11-12-years category.

Peter Keitirma, aged 14, won 3 gold in the 100m individual medley, 200m breast stroke, and 50m freestyle.

Meanwhile, Aurelie Duchateau took the mantle for Altona Swim Club, winning 3 gold in the 100m individual medley, 100m backstroke and 50m freestyle.

Action continues Sunday with more than 40 events on card.

“We have decided to expose the swimmers to events of higher magnitude and we have reduced on sprint events,” said Tefiro Serunjogi, the chairman of the Seals Swim Club.

“They will be exposed to 1500m as we prepare them for international competitions where more of such events are done.”
