Scottish backstroker Ryan Bennett talks after winning the 100 short course meter championship on Sunday at the Scottish Gas Short Course National Championships in Edinburgh.
Bennett’s swim of 51.72 missed the National Record by just .01 seconds in the swim, and he talks about some of the recent technique work that he’s done with the suddenly-huge training group at the University of Stirling.
Bennett says that he’s done more technique work since moving to Stirling than he’s ever done before in his career, and he talks about specific instances where he thinks that paid off in his race on Sunday.
How is that only 0.01 off a Scottish Record? His PB is 51.51???
Swim Fan – it is a quirk, but it is so. I’ll follow up – but it’s possible that because the 51.51 was done at BUCS it wasn’t properly observed.
I think he competed for England until recently. He is from Lancashire in Northern England and swam for Bolton Metro (England) before going to University in Stirling, I think he switched ‘nationality’ after that.
