Swimming gained 8 medals in the pool on Monday, 2 silver and 6 bronze. JJ Gallichan swam an outstanding 1500 meters and broke the previous Island Games record and the Island record to be beaten by the Faroes world ranked Pal Johansen.

Jersey’s other silver came in the 4x50m ladies relay narrowly being beaten by the Faroes.

The mens 4×50 medley relay swam to an impressive bronze beating the Isle of Wight team which included Darren Mew a former Commonwealth and European medalist.

A very good day in the pool for the young Jersey Team.
