Polish international swimmer Alicja Peczak, who is the current European champion in the 50m, 100m and 200m breaststroke, stamped her class at the finish of the Leisureland international meet at the Cranny Pool in Galway yesterday.

On Saturday she set a new all comers record in the 100m breaststroke with her time of 1:10.36. Her second all comers record on Saturday was in the 400m IM when she came first in 4:43.04.

Peczak's final two records arrived at the last session in the 200m breaststroke, which had stood for 10 years, and the 400m freestyle.
