23 new national record on 3 competition days at Tatartstan swimming championships (25m)
The new season has started very successfully for our FINA Center swimming team.

FINA scholarship holders showed their level at the Short course Championship of the Republic of Tatarstan (25m).

Last week, the first competitions of the "short course" season were completed, which were attended by the strongest athletes of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as our multinational team, which, despite the fact that it participated outside the general standings of the republican competitions, demonstrated high results on average.

The competitions were held for three days in the Akcharlak pool, which was familiar to the whole team, and a total of 12 athletes participated in 50 individual heats, as well as in 4 relay heats.

1) Arina Baikova (Latvia)

For Arina, this is the 4th participation in the Championship of the Republic of Tatarstan and without a doubt she showed the entire swimming community of the Republic her fighting spirit and, as always, a strong performance, where Arina took first places at almost all distances.

As a result, she managed to improve her personal result twice, and most importantly-to fulfill the qualifying result for the upcoming FINA World Championship (25m) in Abu Dhabi.
