Six swimmers achieved Commonwealth Games qualifying times on the second day of the SA Swimming Championships in Gqeberha on Wednesday.
The womens 200m individual medley proved to be the highlight of the evening, producing a massive battle between the in-form Aimee Canny and defending champion Rebecca Meder.
Meder had already dipped just under the Commonwealth Games qualifying time by one hundredth of a second in the morning heats, finishing in 2:12.82. After a thrilling duel in the evening final, it was Canny who was the quicker of the two, claiming the title to add to her 200m freestyle and 100m breaststroke golds from the opening night of competition in a time of 2:10.90, with Meder second in 2:11.29 - both well under the qualifying time.
