After their rest day on Thursday, the team were back in the competition pool yesterday. Tom did a creditable 200 free, again achieving a personal best, though he might have gone faster had he paced the first 50m better – he went out like a rocket and then slowed up. He then did a 50m fly, again achieving a slight PB. The rest of the team did well, and again Hannah got a bronze medal. On
