In the individual events, Alex Turnbull produced the standout individual swim, winning his 50m breaststroke heat in a personal best.
“Happy with that,” he said in an interview with Manx News.
“Had to get settled into things, but this is my main event. Everything went according to plan.”
First-time Games swimmer Connor Mealin had a tougher outing in the same event but stayed upbeat:
“Didn’t feel the stroke, but it’s amazing. I’m so grateful for the opportunity.”
Charlie Foster, also competing at his first Games, produced a controlled 200m backstroke swim.
“It wasn’t a PB, but it was a solid race,” he said, adding he expects the shorter 100m on Tuesday to suit him better.
Kiera Prentice continued her consistent form in the 100m freestyle, a day after her role in the record-breaking relay:
“Really happy to be consistent… going under that barrier (1:01) is always nice.”
Lauren Dennett echoed the mood after a strong finish of her own: “I felt really good… It’s nice to have that much energy at the end.”
