Ella Fenech Attard achieves Age Group B record in the 100m fly

The Aquatic Sports Association of Malta recently hosted the second time trial for 2021-22 season at the National Pool in Tal-Qroqq.

The well-attended event saw eight local clubs being represented by a total of 228 swimmers who competed in a total of 14 events. 

Ella Fenech Attard achieved an Age Group B record in the 100m Butterfly. The time for the newly established record was 1:11.12, almost 0.3 of a second faster than her previous mark of 1:11.40 which she set in the National Championships held in December 2021.  

Commenting about the event results, ASA president Joe Caruana Curran said that the national team had just undergone a change in their coaching programme.

This followed the intensive training camp under the helm of international swimming coach Scott Volkers earlier this year. 

The ASA is confident that the techniques being adopted by swimmers will be of benefit in the longer term which in turn will bring improved results. 

The third time trial for the 2021/2022 Season will take place on Saturday, March 26 at the National Pool in Tal-Qroqq. Events will start at 2pm.
