A number of records stand at Dolphins Fast and Furious swimming gala

The Dolphins produced six overall winners with the Silverfin producing four, as the second edition of the Dolphins Fast and Furious Invitational gala ended at the Gems Cambridge International School on Saturday.

David Sine, Karimah Katemba, Tendo Kaumi, Kirabo Namutebi and Ambara Atuhaire were the top performers on the day for the Dolphins while Raya Angemi, Yonah Lumonya, Karla Mugisha and Selina Katumba came top for the Silverfins in the 8&under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14 and 15&over respectively in the one-day annual event that attracted over 100 swimmers.

In the 8 and under category, Dolphins' David Sine produced the best performance on the day winning the 100m IM, 25m breaststroke & backstroke, 50m breaststroke & backstroke, relegating Rieck Jeremy, Fredrick Luzinnda, Jeremiah Magera, Elijah Asiimwe, Suubi Musoke and brothers Samora Lumonya and Joshua Lumonya in the different races on the day.

Despite winning the 100m IM Karimah Katemba's 1:27.19 was short of breaking White Heathers 1:19.98 over the same distance by 7.21 seconds.

Tendo Kaumi's 1:17.77 over the same distance was also short of Seals' Francesco Kagugube's time of 1:11.46 set during last year's event. Kevin Rugaaju and Shane Birungi finished second and third in; 1:19.92 and 1:21.84 respectively.
