At the finish just 0.02 seconds separated them. Sweetenham was pleased with how the skins events went after introducing them to Britain for the first time ever at this event. I think we're doing this better than the Australians as they don't have heats, it's all invitation only, but here anyone can get in. Next year we'd like to have bonuses for wins and extra bonuses for consecutive wins, plus the swimmers will draw for the lane order out of a hat rather than the fastest swimmer being in lane four. The swimmers really got into it tonight after seeing how it was done yesterday.
Tomorrow sees the finals of the semi final events that took place tonight.
Nicola Jackson has her eyes set on becoming the first British woman to swim under 60 seconds for the 100m butterfly. The Derwentside swimmer might find it tough after the skins events tonight but has tomorrow morning off to rest and looks to have a go at the British record tomorrow night.
