The Boys' High pool was awash with colour at the TBHS swimming championships on Wednesday. The boys took the opportunity to dress in house colours at this annual event.

They were also on hand to witness Kyle Uys break the senior butterfly record set by Luke Andrew in 2008. Uys' time of 31.4 seconds took 0.4 seconds off the previous record.

Uys also won the championship events in the 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle events  on his way to becoming the Senior Champion ahead of Anton Van Vugt.  Earlier in the week Uys won the 1500 m open (45 lengths of the pool), showing that he is dominant in the longer distances as well.

Other swimmers to feature at the champs were Tim Colson who made a clean sweep of the junior events.  Marc Rooney (junior) and Anton Van Vugt (senior) were runners up.

Hogben House won best overall house, with Tait second, Simmers third with Dawson fourth.
