FCST Races at Santa Clara Grand Prix

Two FCST swimmers, Simone Manuel and Brett Pinfold, competed in the last stop of the 2013 Arena Grand Prix series. This was the final tune up for several National Team swimmers competing in the World Championship Trials later this month.

Brett and Simone both finaled in multiple events and returned home with best times. Simone made the "A" final in the 50 and 100 free, made the "B" final in the 200 free, and swam a personal best in the 200 IM.

Brett made the "B" final in the 200 back with a 6 second drop, breaking the FCST team record with a time of 2:06.48, good enough for an 18th place finish overall.
