Patrick Hickman dropped his time by 4 seconds while Samuel Brand took 2 seconds off his PB.

Hannah Etty, Wade Kinsela and Brooke Kinsela all dropped their times by a second.

In the Spoon semis Sam Brand made it a total improvement of 7 seconds as he broke his new time by 5 seconds while Caleb Giger dropped his time by 4 seconds and swam himself out of the Final.

Georgie Fisher improved her time by 2 seconds in the semi and went extremely close to taking out the Spoon but a fast-finishing Caitlin Brand took home the spoon in a personal best time of 30 seconds.

In the 33m backstroke Caitlin followed her excellent swimming in the Spoon as she smashed her time by 7 seconds while Mitchell Stanley and Adelaide Ellis took 2 seconds off their best times.

Ryan Ellis showed great improvement in his breaststroke as he smashed his time by 15 seconds in the 33m for that stroke while Josie Mitchell took 6 seconds off her personal best.

Samuel Brand and Claire Wright breaststroked 2 seconds faster than before while Hannah Etty clipped her best time by 1 second.

In the hardest yet most beautiful of strokes the 33m butterfly Millie Balcomb and Angus Andrews led the way as they dropped 4 seconds from their PB’s.

Georgia Balcomb, Claire Wright and Talitha Stanley took 3 seconds off their times while Harriet Balcomb made it a Balcomb trifecta as she, and Hannah Etty dropped their times by a second for the lap of butterfly.

The most dramatic improvements of the night came from the 66BBB as swimmers were more confident in the two laps of their favourite stroke.
