Five personal bests and a National Record for Tonga
A strong start to day one of competition for Tonga, with the swimmers achieving five personal bests across seven events, including one national record, all achieved in their highly successful heats.
Carolann Farmani made a powerful impact on the opening day, delivering a personal best and setting a new National record in the 100m Individual Medley. This was closely followed by Luseane Latai Limoni who swam her way to two personal bests, with 1:16.87 in the 100m Individual Medley and 34:41 in the 50m Backstroke.
It was a flying start for the Tongan team, with Vaoahi Afu also recording a personal best in the 50m Backstroke, and Alexander Villami achieving a personal best in the 100m Individual Medley. A great way to start their week in the pool.
