2013 Varsity Swimming Twitter Updates

My coverage of the Swimming event for the Varsity series 2013. University of Nottingham Vs Nottingham Trent.


  • Varsity swimming 2013 about to get underway here at the #UoN. Uni of currently leading Trent in the series 3-2!

  • Nottingham Uni take the first race! The 4x50m Women's Medley. Great start from the women, time for the boys to step up to the plate! 
  • And Nottingham Uni comfortably take first place again, followed by Nottingham Uni B in second! Trent left to pick up 3rd and 4th! #UoN #Easy
  • Men's 100m individual medley. Different race, same result. #UoN pick up first and second place! What a start! 
  • Trent give a good race but the #UoN women's 100m butterfly swimmer is too strong a match. First place, again!
  • ... Followed by another first place for the men's race, won in a time of 56.98. Great swim! Can Trent salvage anything from this?!
  • Still a clean sweep for the #UoN varsity swimming squad. Wins in the 50m backstroke for both men and women! You have to feel for #Trent here
  • And a huge roar from the #Trent side as they finally beat #UoN to first place in the 100m breastroke! Can't help but be pleased for her...
  • Normality resumed as the male swimmer for Uni of secures first place in the 100m breastroke. Overall, unfortunately, this is a non-contest
  • The male and female swimmers for #UoN too strong in the 50m freestyle. Trent, respectfully, pick up 2nd and 3rd in the male race, though.
  • Scores at half-time, Nottingham Trent 42 - 77 @UniofNottingham - Event of two halves, maybe? No, probably not. 
  • Speaking to a #UoN competitor - confirms that Trent 'aren't allowed to win anything' and they are 'disappointed' to have lost a race at all.
  • Swimming resumes with the women's 50m butterfly. @UniofNottingham domination resumes. 1st and 2nd place, again!
  • And the men follow in the women's footsteps. #UoN take it again. The 3rd place Trent competitor wasn't far behind, though. 
  • Trent so close to another Breastroke victory. Female 50m. Probably the closest race so far. Breastroke clearly their event!
  • @UniofNottingham dominate the 100m freestyle. Securing the wins with both categories... But what a race this next one is!!
  • Amazing race! And Trent have done it! Their second victory of Varsity swimming secured dramatically in the women's 4x50m freestyle relay!
  • But the @UniofNottingham men dominate the same event with 1st and 2nd place. #Trent well and truly put back in their place with that race.
  • A whitewash from the two @UniofNottingham female swimmers in the 100m backstroke. Followed similarly by the #UoN men!

  • This '8x50m Individual Medley Skins' is an interesting event. Pick stroke out of hat. Last place gets eliminated each time. Come on #UoN!
  • And the final of the women's event has come down to 1 Trent contestant v 1 Uni of! Thrilling stuff... Here we go! Come on @UniofNottingham
  • The men's final of the event came down to #UoN v #UoN. I'll leave it on a cliffhanger rather than announce which uni was victorious here...

  • This was over a long time ago. @UniofNottingham destroy #Trent in the varsity swimming. The trophy well deserved!
