National swimming record for Christian - 4/3/10
Published: 04 March, 2010
Plymouth College elite swimmer, Christian Homer, has set a new
15-17 national record for Trinidad and Tobago in the 50-metre
backstroke at the Internationales High Point Meeting in Zurich,
Switzerland.
Swimming for Plymouth Leander, Christian clocked 26.82 seconds
and claimed a silver medal in the race. He repeated the
silver spot in the 50-metre butterfly, 100-metre butterfly and
4x100 medley relay but went one step further in the 4x100 freestyle
relay where his team picked up a gold medal.
Christian, who is a boarder at Plymouth College and is part of
the school's highly-acclaimed swimming programme partnership with
Plymouth Leander, is no stranger to representing his country.
Last summer he swam for Trinidad and Tobago in the World
Championships in Rome and has now qualified for five events in the
inaugural 2010 Youth Olympic Games being held in Singapore in
August.
