SWIMMER Phil Muspratt's participation in elite level competition continued at the Level 1 Burns Open Meet.
The two-day event held at the Ponds Forge International Pool attracted a whole host of top level swimmers, including Great Britain international Andrew Weatheritt and Welsh Commonwealth swimmer Tom Laxton.
Muspratt swam in the 50m freestyle, where he finished in seventh position. He was the only swimmer not from Loughborough University to finish in the top eight, yet he was still unhappy with his showing.
"My entire race was quite untidy to be honest so I'm really not happy with how I swam," he said.
"On a positive note, I only have a week to wait to put it right at next week's Derventio Excel February Festival."
